School will be here before you know it. We wouldn’t have an amazing school system here in Alton, if it wasn’t for all the AMAZING teachers that give from the bottom of their hearts. How many times have you heard teachers say that they buy so many things for their classroom out of their own pocket? My Sister-in-law and Mother-in-law were both teachers so I know firsthand how much they give just to keep their kids fed or clothed or both.
Why is thredUP thanking teachers? For starters, we know schools are super important to our customers. And, we heard that:
- 1 in 3 teachers are actually buying clothes for students (along with school supplies) with money from their own pockets. It’s true- my sister-in-law confirmed it!
Fashion resale site thredUP.com has partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to recognize and thank teachers for their hard work and the positive impact they make each day on our children’s lives. thredUP thought, let’s get these teachers some amazing thredUP clothes asap! Then they decided to publicly recognize as many teachers as they could!

Our Nomination:
My son and I just nominated Susan Quinn from Alton Central School who taught 6th grade. Mrs. Quinn always pushes her students to do BETTER than their best. She has been an amazing role model for the students as she taught with her whole heart even when faced with a new medical condition. She always makes sure that the kids have fun while learning science. The supplies she used were bought out of her pocket on many occasions because she loves to see kids get excited about learning!
