This summer, we had a virtual service project to “clear the list” for Belles who are teachers. “Clear the list” is a initiative focused on helping underfunded teachers get the funds or items they need for their classroom. Teachers set up a wish list of items or a donation page to accept funds. This helps teachers to provide their students with essential supplies and ensure they have a successful school year.
We had 12 teacher Belles from Chicago, South Bend and Michigan submit their classroom wish lists. Thanks to all the generous Chicago East Belles, we were able to completely clear 3 lists and provide many supplies for the other 9 teachers. Check out some of the items they received, their classroom photos and words of thanks below. Thank you again to everyone who helped these teachers get set up for the school year by purchasing items off their wish lists.
