Back to school is back in session and I am so excited that my five-year-old is beginning the school year as a Kindergartner! I also get to help with the chaos of school by being a Classroom Hero!
Now that my daughter has officially started school, I’ll be honest when I say that I never realized how many school supplies the teachers need within their classrooms! Teachers are not just incredible people in our children’s lives but they can also be parents like you and me!
With two busy ones who are always needing my attention, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to try and use my actual money to purchase school supplies for my own classroom.
How can we are parents help out child’s teacher and their classroom this year? We become classroom heroes by helping stock up classrooms with the essential products that the teachers may not otherwise have. WOOHOO! Below are a few tips!
1. Offer Your Time
One way to help your child and their classroom is by offering your time. This is as simple as helping put bulletin boards together, cutting or laminating papers or helping with any other tasks that the teacher asks for. Or maybe bigger tasks that the teacher asks you to do, like volunteering your time for a classroom party, baking, bringing in treats/snacks or helping to rearrange classroom books.
2. Pick Up Extra Supplies
According to an article on TIME, on average, teachers spend more than $500 yearly on school supplies. With about 20-25 students in each classroom, supplies can go quickly! Crayons, markers, dry erasers and more go quicker than we think so I’m always asking if my daughter’s teacher needs any extras to help out. One way we were able to help is by running to our local Costco.
They had Kleenex® Facial Tissue bundles, which were perfect for the back-to-school season! With 10-12 boxes per bundle and 43% more tissues per box than the best-selling Kleenex® Facial Tissue Box in rest of market, these tissue bundles are truly Made To Give More and everyone is grateful for that! Members will even save $4.50 on the Kleenex® bundle pack from 8/7-9/1! It’s available in-store or online. You’ll see the discount on the price tag in the warehouse, and the discount will be applied at the register.
3. Mystery Reader
One of my favorite things to do is surprise my daughter by coming to help in the classroom. Her teacher allows parents to come in to be a “mystery reader” and read a story to the class. It’s such a fun way to enjoy a quick break in my day to help out her class as well as meet her new friends and fellow students within her class.
4. Put Your Talent To Work
While it may be difficult to step away from your busy work schedule, think of a way to use your talents to help your child’s teacher in a different way. Are you a super “Type A” organizer? Perhaps you could help organize volunteers for a school field trip, help with donations or assist in putting together school supply lists. Consider your gifts and leverage those to be a true classroom hero, not only to your child but the classroom as a whole.
Ready to help be the classroom hero this year? I’m sure there are many ways you can volunteer and hopefully these tips can give you some new ideas to support your child’s new school and teacher in a way that can make the most for you and everyone involved. How are you going to help in your child’s classroom this year?

Yes, I always pick up extra supplies! And I tell the teacher to let me know if she or he needs something else throughout the year. We always bring in Kleenex!
When you send your kid to school you take a leap of faith that they will be taught, but also cared for and kept healthy. It is so nice to help out this goal and provide supplies and your time to the classroom.
Our teachers have always been so happy when we bring in extra supplies. Not going to lie, I can be a bit of a germ freak so I like to supply the classrooms with as much kleenex and sanitizer as I can LOL . And glue! How do the kids go through so much glue!?
I was a elementary teacher for a decade and so, so thankful for all of the classroom heroes! Sending in school supplies was such a huge help! I love that there’s such a great deal on Kleenex so we can stock the classrooms up now!
Reading through the school supply list, I saw between all teachers that 13 boxes of tissues were needed from all the students. Each! I think the multipack would be a great way to supply the room and save a little money doing it. I did send in extra crayons, pencils, sanitizer and paper. I’ll find out what else they might need on BTS night, which is this coming Monday and will be sure to do my part to help.
I always try to pick up extra supplies while I am out shopping and I keep it in a box at home. So if the teacher requests some extra supplies, I already have them on hand. During cold and flu season, I try to send in extra disinfectant wipes and kleenex because I don’t want those germs coming home. Trust me extra school supplies during cold and flu season will make any teacher happy.
This is a great promotion. Glad to see so many people taking it seriously to make the most out of their opportunists!
Those are fun ideas! I know a teacher (or two or three!) that would love each one of these items. I am sponsoring a couple of months of books for different teachers. That’s a fun idea, too!
As a former teacher, thank you for this! I always send in extra cleaning wipes and tissues.
I remember when my kids were little. Teachers do not get enough credit…or pay in my opinion. They have to be Saints.
We always bring extra supplies for my son’s classroom at the beginning of the school year. Every little thing counts.
This is such a great post to remind us of what we can do to be a classroom hero. I know that teachers really appreciate the help with supplies when back to school season hits. These are some great ideas of what we can get to help out the classroom.
We got one of these boxes last year and I still had extras to pass out to teachers this year. It was a great deal.
We love this brand! That bundle is perfect for back to school!!
Thank you so much. I promise to be a classroom hero when I become a mother. Teachers are caretakers, they need to be assisted to achieved the common goal, that is the success of our children academically and morally.
