Morawski Barbecue in their third year in a row was able to supply items from teachers wishlists. Not only in our district, but others as well! 125 classrooms to be exact! Let’s pay it forward and grab some more items off of these lists! Click on Morawski’s original post to see all of the lists

📝✏️ AMAZON WISHLIST - YEAR 3 🎉🍎

We are so excited to announce Year 3 of our Back to School Amazon Wishlist drive! We started this a couple of years ago after seeing so many of our friends and local teachers and staff having to continuously fund their classrooms on their own year after year.

I know its still summer time living, but the school year will be here before we know it and we know the teachers love to plan! 😜

How it works: if you are a teacher, or have a teacher in your family, please leave their Amazon wishlist in our comments. We will go through and grab an item or 2 off of each list to try and lessen the burden for them.

PLEASE make sure before sending your list that the shipping address is available so there is no delay in getting your items to you!

We have been able to help over 200 teachers the last couple years and are looking to add more to our list this year.
