Built for Busy Teachers
You're already buying classroom supplies with your own money. Chasing parents via email for donations? That's just adding insult to injury. And don't even get me started on faculty gift exchange spreadsheets that somehow always have someone buying for themselves.
SpreadCheer keeps it simple. Create a supply list, share one link with parents, and watch the donations get claimed as they happen. Need to organize Secret Santa for your grade-level team? Same thing—one list, one link, zero confusion. Students want a holiday gift exchange? Parents coordinate it themselves without drowning you in emails.
It's free, works on phones, and you can set it up during lunch duty. Sign up takes 30 seconds with Google, parents don't need accounts, and you're done.
