Schoolhouse Supplies is thrilled to invite local teachers to our first Thanks A Million! Teacher Appreciation Event. On Saturday, May 6, Schoolhouse Supplies will host 1,000 teachers at an appreciation celebration in Portland, OR to culminate National Teacher Appreciation Week. Local and national partners will provide gifts and supplies!
As a way of thanking you for your commitment to our students, we want to recognize you. Along with many of our corporate partners, we will provide $1 million worth of gifts and supplies to say thank you. We know you give everything to your students-including money out of your own pocket.
This is an invitation-only event. See our Frequently Asked Questions below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m a teacher. Am I eligible to participate?
If you teach at a school where 50% or more of students qualify for the federal free and reduced lunch program, you may be eligible to attend. If you’d like to attend, fill out this form. If you are eligible, we will email you an invitation to reserve your spot at the event.
Can I bring my kids or a guest?
Each ticket allows entry to only one person. Kids and guests are not invited to attend due to event space capacity. We will host at least 1,000 teachers and over a hundred volunteers throughout the day, which limits our capacity to welcome guests.
Can I give my access code to another teacher?
No. Your access code is assigned only to you. It cannot be forwarded or transferred to another person.
I made a reservation but I can’t find my ticket.
Search your inbox for an email from noreply@order.eventbrite.com. A pdf of your ticket is attached. Additionally, when you register for an event, Eventbrite automatically creates an account associated with your email address. Log in using the same email address and select “Tickets” from the dropdown in your Eventbrite account.
Must I be present to win a raffle prize?
Yes, you must be present to win. We hope you will stay long enough to collect gifts and supplies and win fabulous raffle prizes! We do not have capacity to store prizes or follow up with teachers after the event.
If I arrive early, can I get in early?
No, you won’t be able to get in early. Only a certain number of teachers are allowed into the event for each reservation time. However, if you are early, chat with your fellow teachers and be one of the first teachers into the event for your reservation!
If I arrive late, can I still get in?
We encourage you to arrive on time. However, we understand that life happens. We will allow late arrivals entry within the first 30 minutes after your reserved time.
Is parking available?

If I can’t make it, can I give my reservation to someone else?
We certainly hope you can make it! If you are not able to attend, please cancel your reservation by logging into your Eventbrite account. If you have trouble, email us at info@schoolhousesupplies.org. We will offer your spot to a teacher on the waiting list.
