Poverty affects nearly 1 in 5 students in Madison County. Today, we’ll explore how one organization is ensuring these students don’t fall behind in the classroom.
I’m excited to discuss how Free 2 Teach is making an impact in Madison County. Joining me is Alison Kling, the executive director of Free 2 Teach. As a former elementary school teacher, Alison understands firsthand what educators need to succeed in the classroom.
In this episode, she shares how Free 2 Teach is stepping up to provide free school supplies for our teachers and students. Their goal is make sure every child has what they need without teachers having to dip into their own pockets.
We discussed:
Why a box full of binders inspired the launch of Free 2 Teach
How school supplies directly impact our children
The ways local companies are helping repurpose their resources for teachers
What types of school supplies Madison County teachers can pick up
How Free 2 Teach created a feminine hygiene program from community input
