Great teachers change lives, but too often, they spend their own money to make sure students have the supplies they need to succeed.

The Bay Education Foundation Adrianna Swearingen Teacher Resource Store helps remove that burden by providing free classroom supplies and essential resources to Bay District Schools educators.

Named in honor of Adrianna Swearingen, Bay District Schools teacher and the 2024 Florida Teacher of the Year—the first Bay County educator to earn this statewide honor—the store celebrates excellence in teaching while directly supporting the educators shaping our students’ futures every day.

From notebooks and pencils to classroom organization tools, art supplies, and student essentials, the Teacher Resource Store helps equip classrooms while allowing teachers to focus their resources where they belong: on teaching.

Because when we invest in teachers, we invest in students.

In the 2025-2026 school year, the store:

• Distributed coupons to 1,120 Bay District Schools educators
• Supplied more than $28,000 in classroom resources
• Supported teachers at Title I schools, C-rated schools, and all new Bay District Schools teachers

Your support helps ensure Bay County teachers feel valued, equipped, and empowered to help every student succeed.
