As you know, Joplin, Mo was devastated by a horrible tornado about a month ago. Their schools were destroyed. I am excited to share that we all have the opportunity to be paired with a teacher in Joplin and help them get their classrooms going again. They have about 60 somethings days left to get it kid ready. This is the information they posted on their Facebook page.
Adopt-a-Joplin-Classroom
We are so grateful for the generous donations to our schools from people all over the state, the country and the world.
What we really need now is help getting our classrooms ready for the new school year, which starts in 75 days. We have hundreds of teachers who must set up their classrooms from scratch, because they lost all their classroom supplies and decorations.
If you would like to help us make our classrooms warm and inviting places to learn once again, please participate in our adopt-a-classroom program. We will partner your class or organization with a Joplin teacher, who will let you know the specific things he or she needs to create a welcoming classroom once again.
To adopt one of our Joplin classrooms, contact Kim Vann at kvann@joplin.k12.mo.us, and include your name, organization name and phone number. Thank you for your support of the Joplin Schools as we rebuild!
Again, if you want to help out, please contact
