Tools 4 Teaching

Tools 4 Teaching exists for one reason – to help teachers in our local classrooms.

Created in early 2009, Tools 4 Teaching provides “Free” school supplies to teachers and students in our local classrooms.  Tools 4 Teaching, located inside the Public Education Foundation of Marion County, is open to all full-time teachers working for Marion County Public Schools. Teachers can shop once a month for needed classroom supplies – everything from pencils, paper, art supplies and much more.  With the help of many volunteers, the T4T store has given out more than $5,000,000 in school supplies!    Watch a 30 second preview of the Tools 4 Teaching Store!
