AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Teacher Reuse, a non-profit that offers donated school supplies to teachers for free, put together an effort to help teachers who were impacted by the Kealing Middle School fire days before the school reopened for the new year.
The non-profit's designated chaos coordinator said they were contacted on Friday to help six teachers whose classroom was damaged from the fire. The non-profit put together six crates of basic office supplies to help the teachers restock.
Cheryl Gillmore, the designated chaos coordinator, said the basic supplies consisted of staplers, tape, markers, and some basic decorations.
"It's good to help people, and it's amazing that we have stuff that people gave to us, that we can then turn around and hand to people when they need it," Gillmore said.
Students will return to class Monday. Austin Independent School District said a majority of classrooms in the school were not impacted, and those that will are being relocated some place else in the school.
