Parents can be a massive help if you are able to ask them to help with the cost of classroom supplies.
I've included links full of creative ways to ask your classroom parents for donations and have also included links that explain to parents why we need them! (yes mrs. mom, we REALLY do need 45 gluesticks and bulk dry erase markers....)

You likely won’t be passed over as chaperone on Kartchner Caverns field trip if you buy Pentel Hi-Polymer Erasers instead of the Paper Mate Pink Pearl Erasers, but do you really want to risk it?
Is it REALLY Back to School time? The buzz on Facebook and Instagram tells me everyone is out buying school supplies and either starting soon or has already started school! Whew! Summer sure flew right by! I have a confession. I kinda wish my kids were old enough to go to school.
Following is a sample donation request letter to be sent to parents; feel free to copy and customize this letter with your school specific information as needed.
Are you looking for supplies to stock your classroom art center, or to use for projects this year? Why not ask parents to lend a hand by donating the items you need? Here is a sample letter to preschool parents requesting art supply donations which you can customize and send home with students.
Have you ever noticed how students have used most/all of their supplies by winter break? I created this letter to send home to parents at the beginning of the second semester, asking them to send new supplies for their children. I've updated this file to include a PDF version, as well as a Word version (so you can edit and personalize the letter).
Too often, teachers dig deep into their own pockets to pay for classroom supplies and activities. But there's a better way: Ask for help from the people who care most about students -- their moms and dads. Here's how.
