The Education Fund invites you to join us in our Teacher Care Campaign, now through Valentine’s Day. Please consider making a donation from your heart.
You may remember The Education Fund Teach-A-Thon. More than 3,000 business people discovered teaching is hard. And now with COVID, teachers are doing twice as much as before to help children succeed!
Today, in this phase of the pandemic, our teachers are simultaneously teaching two groups of students – half who are in the physical classroom and half who are learning from home. Plus, teachers are coping with the constant uncertainty of quarantines as students become sick.
Teachers are cleaning their own classrooms, and they are figuring out how to give each student their own set of supplies as COVID prevents sharing. With three quarters (3/4) of our Miami-Dade students on federal aid, teachers are not only managing stressful environments, they are also footing the bill.
We ask you to join us in supporting our teachers. You can be an integral part of our Teacher Care Campaign by making a donation from your heart.
*To make a donation by ACH or Wire Transfer, please contact Mimi Pink at 305-331-4906.
