Amazon Wish Lists for Teachers

For the 2023-2024 school year, we’re continuing the Amazon Wish List for Teachers Program. Each of the teachers, counselors, IRC staff, Wellness Center staff, and College and Career Center counselors have been invited to create a wish list of items that they need for their classrooms to make their day-to-day job easier. These are things that they would have to purchase on their own, so this is a great way to support them by purchasing items for them. The Wish List links will be posted on their Google Classrooms and the LCHS PTSA website, on the Teacher Appreciation page.

When you buy items from their list, they will be shipped to the school and the teacher will be notified. If, for any reason, you choose to buy it separately, please let the teacher know so they can remove it from their list.

If you have any questions please contact Gisela Galan at gisgalan@protonmail.com or Christine Chant at ptapresident@lchsptsa.org

Thank you for supporting our teachers and staff!
