We have a space, now what?

After months (and to some of us, years) of work envisioning a teacher resource center, we finally have a space to build it. So we're throwing a party - or as Christina likes to say, "Fiesta de Limpieza!" It's this Sunday, so we'll update everyone (and yes, share pictures) on it next week.

If you are a teacher in Philly reading this, and you'd like to get involved or support TeacherSPACE, here are some easy ways to become involved:

1. Donate supplies for the center (see our wish list below).
2. Join our planning committee: we meet once a month to plan, envision and strategize for about the center.
3. Spread the word: do you know some person or group who would be a good partner or resource for our center? If so, help us connect with them!
4. Share your opinions and ideas. Please email us or comment with any ideas you have for the center. Or ask us to put you on the e-news list.

Our WISHLIST

These are a few examples of what we need. If you have any of these items or anything else that might help, please let us know, and we can pick them up. We’ll also offer a lending service for teaching supplies, so please tell us if you’d like to loan anything .
