Igniting Inspiration: StreetWise Georgia’s Back to School Teacher Event Empowers Local Educators 

The start of a new school year brings excitement, new goals, and a shared commitment to student success. Yet, for many educators in Title I schools, it also comes with the financial burden of supplying their own classrooms. At StreetWise Georgia, we believe that empowering teachers is the first step toward a thriving learning environment for every child. This is the heart of our annual Back to School Teacher Event, a day dedicated to equipping our local heroes with the tools they need to inspire the next generation. 

On August 16, StreetWise Georgia welcomed 70 dedicated teachers from Gwinnett County and surrounding area’s Title I schools, serving them with a staggering 3,800 essential items for their classrooms. From notebooks and pencils to books and educational resources, every item distributed was a direct investment in a student’s future. The success of this event was a testament to the incredible power of community partnership. Our heartfelt thanks go to Ally Financial for their dedicated help with event setup and to Price Industries for their generous donation of custom blue bags, thoughtfully filled with basic school supplies for each teacher. 

Beyond the classroom supplies, we celebrated our educators with a special raffle. Each teacher shared a personal note about their experience at the event, and one lucky winner will receive a gift basket filled with donations. This surprise delivery will be a reminder of the community’s profound appreciation for their hard work. 

The impact of this event extends far beyond the items distributed. By providing these necessities, we help alleviate the financial strain on teachers, allowing them to focus on what they do best: teaching and mentoring students. It’s an investment in their passion and a vote of confidence in their mission. 

The success of the Back to School Teacher Event is a direct result of the generosity of donors and the dedication of volunteers who believe in the power of education. We are humbled by the support of our local businesses and the spirit of our community. 

Your support makes a lasting difference! Join us in empowering our community.
