2010 – 2011 Report Card C2C has had another great year of providing supplies to the teachers and students of Durham Public Schools. Here are some of the highlights from the past school year: C2C launched a monthly shopping program for teachers from Glenn Elementary School. Teachers were invited to shop once a month from September to May instead of having to wait for their school to be invited for a giveaway event. The program was a huge success and C2C looks forward to adding additional schools to the monthly shop program for the 2011-2012 school year. In November, we moved into new location – 1005 Holloway Street in Durham. At our new location, we have plenty of parking for teachers and volunteers. We can now accept palletized donations. In January, C2C and a group of students from Duke piloted the Supply A+ School program at Eastway Elementary. We were able to provide a mid-year refresh of school supplies for all of the students (Pre-K to 5th grade) at the school. In addition, we donated copy paper and other classroom supplies for teachers. Throughout the school year, C2C collected quantitative data from teacher shoppers. Here’s what we learned: o C2C meets a need in the community – 20% of teachers reported that their school is able to provide basic school supplies for their students. o Durham students are better off because of C2C – 96% of teachers reported that receiving school supplies from C2C will enhance their student’s ability to learn. o Durham teachers are better off because of C2C – 95% of teachers reported that receiving supplies from C2C would allow them to improve the implementation of their instruction. C2C had almost 500 teachers shop at our retail store during the 2010-2011 school year. We provided $48,000 worth of school supplies to teachers and students in Durham Public Schools. None of these accomplishments would be possible without you! Thank you so much for your continued support of students and teachers in Durham.
