It is fairly simple. A flooded school means all the school supplies a teacher has purchased over the years are now gone.\u00a0 A careers worth of lesson plans are gone. Since most of these were paid for by the teacher out of his\/her own pocket &#8211; without help, how can they be replaced. At the same time, students affected by Hurricane Florence just want something normal\u00a0 &#8211; and school usually provides that normalcy.<\/p>\n<p>Helping teachers quickly create a great learning and safe place for their students is what we need to do through DonorsChoose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donors Choose has a site set up ready to help those teachers affected by Hurricane Florence.
