The Education Partnership

We are so grateful for the musical instrument donations from the Farina Foundation and Brighton Music, and we hope our teachers love them just as much as we do!

Music and arts teachers, we want to hear from you: are there any instruments you've been hoping to get your hands on? Drop a comment below!

The countdown is on: Teacher Summer Camp is almost here!

We're so excited to welcome attendees for a few days of learning, great food, and plenty of fun. If you've already signed up, be sure to check your email for everything you'll need to know before the big day.

We can't wait to see you there!

We can’t wait to see you all when we come back on Monday, June 22nd!

Our clothing extravaganza was a stitch-perfect success! Teachers came ready to shop and left with baskets and baskets full of gently loved clothes for their students, giving students the chance to suit up and start the new school year in style!

We couldn't be more threadful (grateful!) for everyone who made this possible. With so many little ones getting a fresh wardrobe, they'll be walking into classrooms feeling confident, comfortable, and ready to learn.

We'll have to do much less laundry around here with teachers taking over 20 pallets worth of clothes. We think that's a pretty seamless outcome!

Attention all members of our Educator Advisory Council!

IT'S BACK! Pack the Bus is returning on Thursday, July 24th, and we couldn't be more excited!

This is your chance to make a real impact for students heading back to school. Last year, we received over $26,000 worth of monetary and donated supply support, and this year, we are so excited to see our community’s impact.

Visit us at one of the Giant Eagle locations (stay tuned, we'll be announcing those soon!) and bring along some much-needed school supplies to help set our kids up for success.

Mark your calendars for July 24th and watch this space for location announcements coming soon. Together, we can Pack the Bus!

What an incredible weekend! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the Educator Appreciation Games at PNC Park. Your support means the world to us and to the amazing educators we're proud to celebrate!

To everyone who purchased tickets: thank you for helping us honor our teachers AND for giving back to TEP. Every ticket made a difference, and we are so grateful you spent your Friday and Sunday with us.

And a very special thank you to all who stopped by the 100.7 tent on Federal Street to donate backpacks to Bazzy and Bubba's Backpack Brigade. Your generosity directly breaks barriers for students in under-resourced schools.

The love and support we witnessed this weekend remind us exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for standing with our teachers, our students, and our community.
