Akron Public Schools - Make a Teacher's Wish Come True

Teachers' Wishes
You don't need a magic lamp to help make our teachers' wishes come true. The answer may be in your closets, drawers, attic, basement or garage. Everyday household items that our teachers can use in class projects turn up just about anywhere!

As we receive the Akron Public Schools teacher wishes for the 2007-08 school year, they will be listed below, alphabetically by school and then by teacher within the school. If you think you can help out a teacher or school, just drop your items off at that school.

Wishes can come true, and you can help! Please, won't you help make a teacher's wish come true? Wishes are updated at the beginning of every school year.
