How to Help Teachers in the Classroom

Teachers in the classroom

Because great teachers make a difference—and they deserve our support.

Teachers are the backbone of our communities. They shape young minds, inspire curiosity, and work tirelessly—often with fewer resources than they need. Whether you’re a parent, business owner, or just someone who cares, there are plenty of ways to make a big difference in a teacher’s day.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Donate Supplies

From pencils to printer paper, classroom supplies add up fast. Ask your local school what’s needed most, or simply surprise a teacher with a “supply drop” of essentials like markers, notebooks, and tissues.

2. Volunteer Your Time

Reading to students, helping with classroom projects, or chaperoning field trips are all valuable ways to lend a hand. Even a few hours a month can lighten a teacher’s load.

3. Sponsor a Classroom Meal

Nothing brings people together like good food. Surprise your local teachers with a catered lunch from The Rib Boxx—it’s a delicious way to say “thank you” for all they do. We can even create custom platters for the staff lounge.

4. Share Your Skills

If you have a special talent—whether it’s art, gardening, or even BBQ smoking—offer to give a short classroom presentation. It’s a fun way to inspire students while giving teachers a short breather.

5. Advocate for Teachers

Support policies and programs that provide funding, resources, and fair pay for educators. Your voice matters—whether you’re attending school board meetings or simply sharing positive stories about local teachers.

6. Show Appreciation Year-Round

Teacher Appreciation Week is wonderful, but a small gesture in the middle of the year can mean even more. A note, a coffee gift card, or a plate of cookies can brighten a tough day.

The Rib Boxx Loves Our Teachers

As a local business, we believe in giving back. Teachers are building the future—one student at a time—and they deserve our thanks, not just in words but in action.

If you want to sponsor a meal for your favorite teacher or school staff, we’d love to help make it happen. Let’s feed the people who feed our future.
