Crayons to Classrooms is a free store for teachers from under-funded preK-12 schools that serve students living in poverty. Crayons to Classrooms serves schools in Ohio’s Miami Valley with 60% or more of their students participating in the National School Lunch Program. C2C promotes the full participation (shopping with us once a semester) of certified teachers from qualified schools within the following counties: Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, and north Warren County. Schools are added to the C2C eligibility list on an individual basis as determined by the organization. Additionally, C2C serves select schools in rural counties based on median income.
Only certified teachers at eligible schools are invited to shop. This includes principals, assistant principals, general education teachers, intervention specialists, and specials teachers such as physical education, music and art teachers. For anyone that is not within these guidelines, please refer your questions to Carlye Rausch at c.rausch@crayonstoclassrooms.org. You can read our Shopper Eligibility Guidelines here.
Select your County or District below to find out if your school is currently eligible.
“I was so pleasantly surprised with my recent trip to Crayons to Classrooms! I had never visited before and was thrilled to hear that our high school students volunteered at C2C which won some of our teachers a shopping spree. What an organized establishment! No strings attached, simply FREE things for you as a teacher, your students and your school! Backpacks, face masks, hand sanitizer, pens, pencils, binders, sticky notes, markers, books, you name it! The ladies at Crayons to Classrooms bent over backwards with their willingness to help us shop for our needs. This was an amazing experience and my students benefited greatly!”
