It’s back to school!

It's back to school time, and SPAAR is involved in a number of ways.

SPAAR contacted more than 500 schools to share information about Realtor® resources available for students and educators:

• Classroom presentations on financial literacy or the process of buying a home,
• Owning Up exhibit,
• Information on careers in real estate,
• Housing market data,
• Fair Housing Month Coloring Contest,
• And more!

SPAAR’s Community Engagement Committee will provide 20 microgrants of $100 each to help teachers purchase supplies for classrooms or “care cupboards.” Teachers will be asked to share online wishlists (Target, Amazon, WalMart, etc.) to spaar@spaar.com. The first 20 requests received will receive $100 credit towards their wishlist.

Help wanted!
