CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – For several years, 5 Star Media Group has held a big annual event to make sure that teachers have plenty of school supplies. Last year, that event became a two-day radiothon on Q108 called Q-Up the Classroom, and it raised a whopping $27,000 for the CMC Teacher Warehouse.
With your help, let’s make it happen again!
The second Q-Up the Classroom will be Thursday and Friday, July 24 and 25, featuring teachers joining 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.
The Teacher Warehouse, provided by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Education Foundation, is a free supply store available to CMCSS teachers. Teachers have access to donated supplies for the benefit of student achievement. In the past 15 years, the store has saved local teachers an estimated $800,000 in out-of-pocket expenses.

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 presented by Grace Dental and The Youth Academy, and we’re lining up additional sponsors. If you’re interested in partnering on this major community initiative, contact Amber Anderson at AAnderson@FiveStarMediaGrp.com or call 931-648-7720 today!
