Donations Being Accepted For Our ‘Teacher Supply Drive’

The new school year is right around the corner and here at 97.3 The Dawg we love our kids and educators. That's why we wanted to do something that will help out both.

Last week we sought nominations for our first ever "Teacher Supply Drive" and now we need your help in giving back to 25 amazing teachers in the Acadiana area.

These supplies will help teachers from reaching into their own pockets as much throughout the school year.

We asked these 25 teachers about the items they could use to help them and their wish list is below. However, all donations will be accepted.

You can drop off items here at the 97.3 The Dawg studios, 1749 Bertrand Drive in Lafayette, any weekday between 8am and 5pm.
