FISHERS, Ind., June 4, 2025 -- As part of its commitment to give back and strengthen communities across the country, Round Room, LLC, one of the nation's largest Verizon Authorized Retailers, is excited to announce its first ever "Stuff the Bus" campaign at participating TCC and Wireless Zone retail locations. As part of Round Room's annual Teachers Rock and School Rocks initiatives, Stuff the Bus aims to provide essential supplies to schools in need across the country.
Five Communities Across the U.S. Participate in "Stuff the Bus" Challenge to Win School Supplies
According to the National Education Association, more than 90% of teachers spend their own money on school supplies for their students. In an effort to ease that burden, Round Room is donating an entire school bus of supplies to one lucky school, along with additional supplies to the other finalists.
From June 1 through June 30, participating Wireless Zone and TCC stores will collect new notebooks, pencils, and other supplies to support local schools. Each finalist was nominated by a local business in their community.
The 2025 Finalist Schools:
- Deans Mill School – Mystic, Connecticut
- Sponsor: Sea Research Foundation, Mystic Aquarium
- Brooks School Elementary – Fishers, Indiana
- Sponsor: Asurion
- Hickory Middle School – Chesapeake, Virginia
- Sponsor: Virginia Food Plots
- Kipp Indy Unite Elementary – Indianapolis, Indiana
- Sponsor: Dealers Wholesale
- Waterford High School – Waterford, Connecticut
- Sponsors: Maxum Irrigation and Jordan Brook Lawncare
The campaign culminates with the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway on Sunday, July 27, where the school that garners the most community support via donations will receive a school bus filled with essential supplies. All finalists will receive the supplies collected during their respective drives.
"At Round Room, we believe in the power of community and the importance of education," said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room. "Stuff the Bus is more than a campaign; it's a movement to ensure every teacher and student has the tools they need to succeed."
How to Participate:
Community members are encouraged to donate new, unused school supplies at participating locations. For a list of drop-off sites and more information, visit www.wirelesszone.com/stuff-the-bus.
