Get Ready for a Special Materials Mobile Event & School Supply Swap on April 6, 2026!
Kick off Earth Month with some secondhand classroom materials! On Monday, April 6, Austin Creative Reuse is teaming up with Austin ISD Sustainability to host a special Materials Mobile & School Supply Swap event at Harris Elementary that is open and FREE for all educators - just bring your school ID!
Austin Creative Reuse will be bringing our Materials Mobile, a mobile pop-up trailer full of everyday classroom supplies and creative materials. Educators just need to bring some bags or boxes to fill up!
If you’d like to participate in the School Supply Swap portion of the event, you can also bring school supplies you no longer need and peruse items other teachers have brought. You are welcome to participate in the swap without bringing items to contribute. If you do bring supplies to swap, please bring no more than two bags or boxes of materials.
When: Monday, April 6, 2026 from 2-5PM
Where: 6105 Berkman Drive, Austin, TX 78723 (Harris Elementary School)
