Pulse FM Invites You to Partner with Local Non-Profit to Provide School Supplies for Wake County Teachers

Pulse FM proudly supports WakeEd Partnership’s Tools4Schools Supply Drive!  WakeEd Parnership is a local non-profit organization that is committed to supporting teachers and students in the Wake County Public School System.  After learning that Wake County teachers spend an average of $926 out of their own pockets for classroom supplies for their students, WakeEd Partnership launched a classroom supply store – known as Tools4Schools — for Wake County teachers in January 2022.  Since its opening, Tools4Schools has served 4,378 teachers from 93% of Wake County Public Schools and given away more than $340,000 in new classroom supplies.   

Pulse FM invites you to join our efforts to support Tools4Schools and to restock their shelves.  Here are four great ways that you can partner with Tools4Schools and make a difference in the lives of Wake County teachers and students:
