What is Educator Warehouse?
Educator Warehouse is a project of Forsyth Educator Partnership and Winston-Salem Forsyth County Council of PTAs that is located right behind Diggs-Latham Elementary School. They have a huge selection of new and gently-used items to be used by classrooms and teachers! Everything has been donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses from the community for teachers to have what they need in the classroom.
Educator Warehouse is able to offer online shopping for teachers as well as in person shopping. To shop in person, teachers need to sign up online to secure their spot for a specific day. If a teacher is shopping online, they will be able to pick up their items in person at Educator Warehouse. Teachers are able to visit this incredible resource once each quarter on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5:30 as well as the first and third Saturdays of each month from 9:00-11:00am (late August through the first of June).
How Can I Get Involved with Educator Warehouse?
Donate!
There are so many ways that you and everyone you know can support our teachers in Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools by getting involved with Educator Warehouse. Donating new and gently-used school supplies is a huge need at Educator Warehouse. If you don’t have time to pick things up and drop them off, feel free to shop on Amazon and select the shipment to be delivered to: Diggs Latham Elementary, located at 396 Hutton Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101.
