How Treasures 4 Teachers supports Arizona classrooms BY JULIE COLEMAN A shoe for a pencil. That’s what Barbara Blalock witnessed while working at the Valley of the Sun YMCA — a 7-year-old student trading her shoe to borrow a pencil from her teacher. The teacher explained to Blalock that she didn’t have enough pencils and knew she would get her pencil back because the student wouldn’t leave without her shoe. Determined to address the critical lack of school supplies, Blalock reached out to a local company, asking if they had any surplus to donate. The company agreed, and Blalock gathered the supplies, stored them in her garage and distributed them to preschools. As additional companies donated their surplus supplies, it was no longer feasible for Blalock to store them in her garage. Through tireless efforts and determination, she founded a reusable resource center for Arizona teachers called Treasures 4 Teachers, which now serves 8,000 educators and impacts 250,000 students each year.
