PPE Needs to Fight Colds & Sneezes

Funded Oct 8, 2021

Words cannot express the gratitude that we feel about receiving these new resources! The boxes of Kleenex are a godsend because some students are getting bronchial infections due to the change-of-the-season. Also, since we're entering in to the flu/Covid-19 season, Kleenex, disinfectant wipes, paper towels, and the HEPA air purifier help to alleviate the spread of infections.

When these supplies first arrived, the students were pleasantly surprised. They felt valued and supported because Mrs. Murphy-Johnson, a fellow teacher, and strangers (fellow Americans) literally supplied their needs. This spirit of generosity has sparked a desire for our scholars to pay-it-forward to others, as well.

Due to the contributions that were made, our students are maintaining a +95% daily attendance. This is phenomenal in the midst a historic pandemic. This translates to bridging learning gaps from the previous distance-learning school year. Lastly, since our students have a more rigorous matriculation than the average high school student (because it's a early college high school), receiving this PPE has been a game changer.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Cooper
