  • Preparing for the start of a new school year means crafting brand new lesson plans, decorating classrooms, and gathering the necessary supplies to ensure your students success. Memphis Teacher Residency educators invest their time, love, and energy into serving their students and best preparing them for the future, but they can’t do it alone.

Every summer, MTR teachers put together a list of supplies and resources needed for the upcoming school year, from pencils and erasers to white boards and lab equipment.

How can you help? Consider donating to an MTR Give project. There are over 70 projects which means 70+ opportunities to directly impact the classrooms of MTR teachers. Link in profile—every dollar counts!
