Some of our dedicated staff are participating in CARES training, enhancing their skills to better support our students. Together, we are committed to creating a positive, inclusive, and thriving learning environment!
Respected friends, colleagues and community members,
I am writing to you to tap into your networks to help obtain living items for our recently arrived international teachers in Lee County Schools. In addition to the teachers listed on this document, there are several other international teachers coming in the next few weeks who will also need the same or similar items in order to make a smooth transition to their new lives here in our beautiful community.
These teachers have taken a courageous journey from their home countries (Jamaica, Philippines, Honduras, Ecuador, Guyana, Kenya, and Costa Rica, just to name a few) to grow, support and enrich the lives of our youth here in Lee County. Let's show them what a great place this is in which to live and work! Please contact me if you are able to donate any of the items on the various lists for the different teachers (my contact information is at the end of this email). Some have arrived with a few things in place and some with a lot left to do. Some are here on their own, and some have families that will be joining them soon, therefore the lists are different for each person. If you, your organization, school, church or community group are able to donate any of the individual items that would be wonderful and very much appreciated. If you would like to "adopt a teacher" and fulfill their entire list, that would be great too! Items do not need to be new, just clean and in good condition.
Finally, almost all of our teachers are looking for affordable vehicles to buy. If you or someone you know has an affordable and reliable vehicle for sale, or if you know of a sales lot or dealership with affordable cars, please let me know that too so we can connect our teachers with potential car sellers.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Feel free to share this email with others who may be able to help. I know that our community will pull together to ensure that these teachers are set up for a successful experience with our students and in our community.

Students entering Kindergarten have entry requirements that include the appropriate type of vaccine administrations and the correct number of doses for the student's age. NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has set up a new online dashboard to help parents determine the vaccine requirements for their child's entry to Kindergarten.
You can visit their dashboard by clicking here and review the graphic below provided by NCDHHS and the Lee County Health Department.
