Classroom Central was excited to attend and support the kickoff of Read Charlotte’s Commit to 80 initiative! 📚 This critical program is focused on increasing the percentage of third graders who finish the school year on reading level increases from 29% to 80% by 2030, a goal that closely aligns with our mission to create equity in the classroom by equipping students and teachers with the tools they need to succeed. By partnering with organizations like Read Charlotte, we’re helping to build a brighter future for our community, one book at a time. 💡 Together, we can create lasting impact through literacy and education! #ReadCharlotte #CommitTo80 #EducationForAll #ClassroomCentral #Literacy

Another school supply drive is in the books! We set a lofty goal for the 9 School Tools Supply Drive and met it by donating 25,000 items to Classroom Central, ensuring that no student goes without the tools they need to be successful. #CraftedCares #9SchoolTools

We're so thankful to have such an amazing community partner in Barings! Thank you for helping us help students in need!

Our employees have logged over 550 hours since our partnership began through Backpack to Basics and other volunteer initiatives throughout the years. In 2023, Barings and Classroom Central jointly launched the Education Initiative, which is committed to providing free school supplies to affordable housing communities across the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.

The race for the North Carolina State Superintendent is making national news. Recently, candidates Mo Green and Michele Morrow tackled their first debate. Both candidates hope to lead North Carolina's Department of Public Instruction after November 5. Being informed about the local NC State Superintendent race is crucial to election-day decisions because this office influences critical decisions, including teacher pay, curriculum standards, school funding, and state-wide educational policies. The next debate on Spectrum News 1 will occur next Tuesday, September 24, at 7:00 pm EST. We'll be watching, will you? Read the complete overview on EdNC: https://lnkd.in/edmvQiCg

We can’t thank our #9schooltools partners enough!
As an organization, we value contributing to the greater good in our community. Concorde Construction Company along with New Forum, partnered with Classroom Central this past month under the T3 Initiative. We collected the 9 most needed school supply items as determined by Classroom Central as well as direct financial donations. The supplies and funds we collected will help support students with the tools they need to thrive and feel confident this school year. Together, we made a difference – WAY. BETTER. Concorde alone, had a total of 2,250 physical supplies donated! This ranged from scissors, binders, pencils, pens, notebook paper, notebooks, crayons, markers, colored pencils, erasers, and more! Also, between Concorde, New Forum, and Trade Partners / Subcontractors we raised a total of $8,744.73 which surpassed our goal of $3,000! Thank you to all who contributed and a big shout out to Amanda Gardner, Jessica McCready, Brooke Lederer, and Blaine Jackson for all of their hard work putting this together. #concorde #concordeconstruction #waybetter #corevalues #contributetothegreatergood #t3initiative #newforum #schooldrive #classroomcentral #classroomcentralschooldrive #9schooltools
