PROJECTS
Granting Teacher Wish Lists - Beginning Teacher Support
Members will identify Beginning Teachers at schools where Beta Delta members teach who need help building a collection of classroom supplies and materials. Those identified Beginning Teachers will create Amazon Wish Lists and set them up so that items can ship directly to the teacher. Beta Delta members will periodically view and make purchases from various teachers' wish lists as able. Our goal is to send items from every teacher's list through Beta Delta member purchases.
Peck and Archer Elementary Schools
Education Excellence Project -- Beta Delta members will provide gift cards to be used by teachers for whatever needs they may have. When possible, some of our members may choose to volunteer at one of these two schools.
BackPack Program - Sedgefield Presbyterian Church
We will be collecting items to support the missions Backpack Program throughout the year. The Backpack Program was created to break the cycle of hunger and food insecurity for children in low-income communities by providing them with healthy nutritious food that are easy-to-prepare, to take home on weekends or extended holidays throughout the school year when other resources are not available.
Needed items include:
- Canned meat, chicken, or tuna
- Canned vegetables, beans, and fruits
- Canned pasta and soups
- Dry pasta and canned pasta sauce
- Macaroni and cheese
- Individual cereal, oatmeal, or grits (instant and regular)
- Peanut butter and crackers
- Granola, fruit, or other healthy bars
