Who Is Aid
For Educators?
Aid for Educators is a 501(c)3 charity located in Arlington.
Our directors are longtime area residents and experienced
educators. They have viewed the dedication of our teachers
from elementary through high school. Aid for Educators
primarily helps new to five year teachers with economically
disadvantaged students.
It’s a fact that more than 90 percent of teachers unselfishly
spend their own money each school year to better their
classroom. Wanting the best for their students, they wish
for decorated classrooms and supplies, while providing
interesting projects and technology to help motivate and
learn. Aid for Educators directly helps teachers lessen this
financial burden.

Our Teachers
Aid for Educators needs your help to fund five teacher requests.
Carter Junior High is a Title I school, which has before- and
after-school programs, as well as, bilingual education. Teachers
spend after hours and their own money to help their students.

Mrs. Pitt has started her second year teaching eighth-grade math at
Carter Junior High. She used her Aid for Educators award to buy
earbuds for the new portable computers, provided by the school district.
She also purchased a backpack for a student.

“If you appreciate a teacher in your life or appreciate a teacher in the lives of your children then AID FOR EDUCATORS is
the organization that gives you the ability to truly say, Thank You!” – Kimberly B.
