Hey Salt Lake reader and middle school teacher Toni B. wrote in saying, “I can tell you this time of year is expensive (I'm not even going to tell my poor husband what I've spent so far)! Most teachers fund their own classrooms, including even the very basics like pencils. The good news is that there are a lot of websites set up for teachers to fundraise. Also, most teachers have an Amazon Wishlist [so contact your kid’s school or teacher directly]. The most credible websites are: Donors Choose and Adopt a Classroom.”
