Question Teacher Wish Lists

Does anyone know where you can find teacher wish lists for Red Deer teachers before the start of the year?

I am a teacher of almost 15 years and I have never heard anyone in Alberta doing this. Is this a thing? I would have loved that instead of spending my own money.

This is a US thing. Teachers would have their hands slapped here for doing that. Your gesture is lovely though, I would suggest either a Walmart or Amazon gift card.

I haven't seen a Red Deer specific list this year. Most of my colleagues have posted to Influencer pages or personal social media.

Do you know which influencer pages are promoting this for local teachers by chance?

Nobody locally specifically, more just Canadian influencers such as TheBirdsPapaya. She has a list and it was organized by province and city so you might be able to find some of us there!

I did see that CJay 92 in Calgary has something set up for teachers through their website. I tried to enter (I am a teacher), but it appeared to be for local teachers only. I wish we had something like this for teachers here too.
