Our strongest supporters share one thing in common: they are consistent in their support. It allows TEP to plan, grow, and serve more classrooms, and the Honor Roll is one of the best ways to make that kind of lasting impact. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give that truly adds up over time, we have a program that might be exactly what you’re looking for.
What is the Honor Roll?
The Honor Roll is TEP’s monthly giving program, designed to provide consistent, reliable support for classrooms in our partner schools. Every month, Honor Roll contributions go directly toward purchasing the basic but essential supplies that teachers and students depend on every single day. Think pencils, paper, and the tools that keep classrooms running. Beyond the supplies themselves, Honor Roll gifts’long-term support enables us to plan ahead and serve more schools throughout the year. Honor Roll Members also receive exclusive updates, including special stories and behind-the-scenes peeks at gifts in action.

Why it Makes a Difference
Your monthly investment makes a meaningful difference in providing essentials for teachers and students alike. Many teachers have shared their personal experiences of how access to basic classroom necessities breaks down barriers and transforms the learning experience.
A teacher from Economy Elementary School recently shared with us:
“As educators, we carry so much: the academic needs, the emotional needs, and often the basic needs of our students. There is nothing harder than watching a child feel embarrassed because they don’t have a notebook, a folder, or the simple tools that others take for granted. The Education Partnership helps remove that burden. It allows me to meet my students’ needs with dignity and without hesitation. Instead of worrying about what we don’t have, I can focus on what we can create together.
For my students, it means belonging. When every child has fresh supplies in their hands, there is a sense of pride and equality. They feel prepared. They feel capable. They feel seen. Something as small as new crayons or a sturdy binder can spark excitement, creativity, and confidence. It tells them, ‘You matter. You are worth investing in.'”
Stories like this one are a reminder that consistent giving does more than stock a classroom. It helps children build a relationship with learning that can last a lifetime.
