As many of us make our way back to the office, so are our Charlotte teachers and students are returning to the classroom. Our partnership with Classroom Central is an important way for us to support students and ensure they are equipped with supplies to overcome pandemic learning loss.
Classroom Central fosters equity in education by providing teachers and students with the free resources they need to succeed. NC state test results show proficiency rates in english, math, and science plummeted in nearly every grade level throughout the pandemic, as fewer than half of K-12 students (only 45.4%) passed NC state exams. But for economically disadvantaged students, the pass rates dropped even further, to only 28.8% of NC students in need. 1 in every 2 local students live in poverty and can’t afford the basic supplies they need to catch up to their peers, let alone learn new lessons.
127,000 local students need 1,000,000+ school supplies
You can make all the difference for a student in need and we have made it easy to donate supplies or monetary donations! Don’t forget to go to Benevity to request a match, simply search for Classroom Central Inc.
Our virtual supply drive will run till September 8, 2022.
