Make It Count
Beyond the Lesson Plan: Vintage Teacher Shirts That Hold Power
THE ASSIGNMENT
Teaching has always been about more than academics. It’s about showing up for kids, building confidence, and creating spaces where they feel seen. I believe a small business can do the same thing.
That’s why Room 1021 commits 10% of all profit to local community organizations right here in Des Moines. When you shop teacher apparel with us, you’re helping fund programs, initiatives, and resources that directly support students and families in our own backyard.
School Spirit Apparel Made Right Here At Home
COMMUNITY FIRST
Des Moines is home. It’s where I teach, where I raise my kids, and where my dad prints every design and where I pack orders after school. Keeping our giveback local means we see the ripple effect.
We see the classrooms. We see the students. We see the real difference. Supporting school spirit shouldn’t stop at wearing teacher graphic tees on Fridays. It should extend into the community that makes our schools possible. Every purchase carries that forward.
Why It Matters
WEAR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN
You work hard for your money. If you’re going to spend it on school spirit and teacher apparel, it should stand for something. Room 1021 exists to make school pride feel current again, while keeping its roots firmly planted in service. You’re not just buying teacher clothing, you’re investing in classrooms, students, and a stronger local community. And that’s impact worth showing up for.
