As the husband of an elementary school teacher I can echo what the others have already said.

If you want to help them out, just send an Amazon gift card. Amazon has everything they need and it can be obtained with the least amount of hassle.

It’s insane what teachers spend out of pocket and I try not to get pissed about it any more. I honestly don’t think my wife does much better than breaking even when the dust settles, but she enjoys it and truly feels like teaching is her calling.

We typically end up buying Christmas presents for a few of the less fortunate kids too.
