COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leading education company Carson Dellosa Education is celebrating World Teachers' Day by pledging to fund $25,000 of classroom projects through its new partnership with DonorsChoose.org, a nonprofit organization that allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects.
"Because we were founded by teachers, and many of our employees started their careers in the classroom, the teaching community means a lot to us. Our company has always been committed to giving back to teachers and empowering their goals to improve students' learning experiences," said Ira Hernowitz, CEO of Carson Dellosa Education.
Founded in 2000 by a former public school teacher, DonorsChoose.org was among the first civic crowdfunding platforms of its kind, and 80 percent of teachers have turned to the site to bring their classroom dreams – big and small – to life. The site has been a resource for teachers to request the classroom materials they need to give their students a great education. The inspiring projects range from expanding classroom libraries and enhancing classroom technology to funding the arts and so much more.
"World Teachers' Day celebrates the vital role that teachers play in providing quality education across the globe," said Hernowitz. "We could not think of a better way to mark the occasion, and we look forward to helping teachers fund projects that will help students learn."
