In my neighborhood this is already done sadly. Though its not called a shower the teacher just sends out stuff they need for the classroom. And my wife and I are happy to contribute but it does suck feeling like we need to spend an extra $200 because the school won't Pony up the money.

That's not even getting into the extra school supplies they put on the required list for students in case another student can't afford supplies so that there's enough for everybody.
