The Centerville Noon Optimist Club is supporting local students by funding Classroom Solutions with a $5,000 grant for the 2024-25 school year. Their generosity helps Crayons to Classrooms provide essential social-emotional learning tools and supplies to teachers serving low-income students.
Since 2009, Crayons to Classrooms has provided teachers of low-income students with over $40 million in essential school supplies—ensuring classrooms have the resources they need to thrive.
Crayons to Classrooms is grateful to the Springfield Foundation for awarding a $5,000 grant to support 23 Clark County schools. This funding helps provide essential school supplies to over 11,000 students, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.
The Troy Noon Optimist Club is making a big impact on education in the Dayton community. With a $1,000 grant to Crayons to Classrooms (C2C), they’re helping distribute free school supplies to teachers at four Troy schools. This partnership ensures that approximately 1,000 students have access to the tools they need to succeed in the classroom.
On GivingTuesday, Crayons to Classrooms hosted their third annual Book Give Back event providing over $44,000 in free books to 167 Miami Valley teachers at under-resourced schools.
Crayons to Classrooms was honored with the Distinguished Business for Art Education award for its dedication to supporting art education. By providing free supplies like crayons, paint, and markers, C2C empowers teachers and students to explore creativity and thrive in the classroom.
This past summer I volunteered to work a day at Crayons to Classrooms and helped make multiple packs of items for teachers! We got to socialize, collaborate, and talk as volunteers. Then, because I volunteered my time, I got a free shopping trip. When I went for my shopping trip, I got amazing, quality items for my students and classroom! I can’t wait to volunteer again and know that I get to help in making and then receiving.
