Each year teachers across the nation create wish lists of items that are often depleted quickly like crayons and Kleenex in addition to items relevant to their specific area of study! The Grand Rapids Public School Foundation is committed to making sure GRPS students and teachers have the tools they need to provide an excellent educational experience!
There are 3 ways that you can help get Grand Rapids Public School educators and scholars prepared for this school year.
