CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The first day of school is coming up quick, and it’s time for our big annual 5 Star Media Group initiative to support the Clarksville-Montgomery County Education Foundation.
But this year, we’re starting something new: Q-Up the Classroom will be a two-day radiothon on Q108 collecting monetary donations for the CMC Teacher Warehouse, a free supply store available to CMCSS teachers. Teachers have access to donated supplies for the benefit of student achievement. In the past nine years, the store has saved local teachers an estimated $344,000 in out-of-pocket expenses.
During the first-ever Q-Up the Classroom, July 25 and 26, teachers will join us on Q108 to share stories about the need for these supplies and the difference they make to the families of students in their classrooms.
By donating financially to the CMC Teacher Warehouse, the staff can purchase exactly what teachers need the most, including often overlooked items like toiletries and personal care items. You can make a monetary donation of any size, but donating $50 will make you an honorary Backpack Filler! You can wait and become a Backpack Filler during the live radiothon on Q108, or you can go ahead and make your $50 donation online today.
Q-Up the Classroom is brought to you by Grace Dental and Reda Home Builders.
