🚨🚨 This is what is at risk of elimination from Des Moines Public Schools! 🚨🚨 The Community School Coordinators have entire rooms dedicated to students and families. This is love. REAL LOVE. Anyone who enters the room can feel it. These clothing closets and food pantries are at risk of being eliminated from school buildings. For the 12 schools that received no funding, these rooms WILL be eliminated. There will be no one to keep it up. I can call my Community School Coordinator and have access to anything in this room within minutes. No food for the weekend? Boom- a bag is packed. No winter coat? Send them down to pick one out. No school supplies for back to school night? Stop in the CSC office and do some shopping before heading to the new classroom. Students sleeping on the floor? A bed will be delivered tomorrow. I could go on and on. This is just scratching the surface. Community School Coordinators aren't just for support. It's their literal job to make sure that students, families, staff, and community members have the basics for success. The students that benefit from their help are our future. #foodpantry #help #forthekids #publicschools #desmoines
