ACTIVATE
This week’s Activate! features Janet Schell, a volunteer with the Teacher’s Warehouse. The Teacher’s Warehouse accepts donated school supplies and books that teachers can then “shop” in order to stock their classrooms for their students. If the Teachers Warehouse is open for business, Janet is there with a smiling face to assist customers. When the Warehouse is closed, Janet is there singlehandedly organizing donations. Because of Janet’s hard work, 525 teachers and 7,000 students or more benefited last school year from the resources available at the Teacher’s Warehouse, and the impact will be even higher at the end of this school year.
