Oneonta, NY – The Catskill Regional Teacher Center in partnership with Otsego ReUse Center, a project of The Arc Otsego, is thrilled to announce the launch of "Carol Dee's Closet," a unique initiative designed to support local educators and promote resourcefulness within our community.
"Carol Dee's Closet" is a dedicated space within Otsego ReUse Center where teachers can donate unused educational materials such as books, games, art supplies, and more. These materials will then be made available for other teachers to borrow or use for free.
This innovative program aims to:
- Reduce waste: By keeping valuable educational resources in circulation, "Carol Dee's Closet" helps minimize waste and conserve resources.
- Support educators: Teachers can access a variety of materials saving them time and money while enriching their classrooms, while supporting a good cause
- Foster community: "Carol Dee's Closet" fosters a collaborative spirit among educators in the region.
"We are incredibly grateful to MJ Coloney for her vision and dedication in making 'Carol Dee's Closet' a reality," said Bill Hardy, Manager of the Otsego ReUse Center. "This program aligns perfectly with our mission to promote sustainability and support our community."
Teachers interested in donating materials or accessing resources from "Carol Dee's Closet" are encouraged to bring their materials to Otsego ReUse Center and let the staff know that you are making a donation to Carol Dee's Closet. Please contact the Catskill Regional Teacher Center for more information.
