Educator Warehouse Thanks Supporters and Introduces New People to Its Mission

 On Thursday morning, the Educator Warehouse had a breakfast to thank people who are already supporting it and to introduce the warehouse to others.

Among those dropping by were Superintendent Beverly Emory and members of the Forsyth Education Partnership and the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Council of PTAs, which sponsor the warehouse along with Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.

The warehouse on the grounds of Diggs-Latham Elementary School was established to help ensure that students and teachers have supplies that they need and to help teachers save money. It relies on volunteers and on donations from individuals, nonprofit organizations and businesses.

This is the third school year that the warehouse has been available to teachers. Karel Chandler is the director. The warehouse, in a pod that the school system no longer needed after Diggs-Latham was renovated and expanded, is open from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the Tuesdays and Thursdays that school is in session and from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. the first and third Saturdays of the month.
