We Love Educators – Lisa Arakaki project leader 2025 School Supplies Drive – We Missed the Bus


Today is the opening day for our 2025 School Supplies Drive – “We Missed the Bus”


Thank you to all who have already signed up to help with the "We Missed the Bus" School Supplies Drive happening between July 14 - August 14, 2025. School supplies have started to be dropped off already! 


 Lisa Arakaki, the project leader has created an Amazon Wish list. This 2025 School Supplies Drive Amazon Wish List shows general categories of Lucia Mar teachers' most requested items. Donors don't need to limit their purchases to those exact brand name items on the list unless otherwise noted (e.g., Scotch brand laminating pouches and Paper Mate flair tip pens). We would especially appreciate donations of the first 3 highest-need items (unscented baby wipes, Clorox wipes, and Scotch laminating pouches). At the request of the school principals, we will reserve half of all donated items and deliver them in January 2026, to sustain teachers for the rest of the school year. Thank you for supporting Lucia Mar teachers! Questions: email Lisa Arakaki at weloveeducators@gmail.com   


There are 13 general categories of requested items on the Amazon Wish List: first 3 starred items are highest need
