COMMUNITY CLASSROOM: Teacher wants to buy hygiene items, underwear and socks for students with donations

WHITEVILLE, N.C. (WECT) - Kathy Butler believes a clean, healthy child is a confident child. But some of her elementary school students at Williams Township don’t always have the basic necessities. That’s why she asked for donations through DonorsChoose, an online charity that helps teachers get funding for school projects.

“Our goal is to stock up our closet with hygiene items, underwear, socks, and basic necessities for our students that need it,” Butler said. “We want them to have all the things that they need to help them be successful. They should not have to worry about basic items.”

Ms. Butler has been fully funded with $604 to buy the items. DonorsChoose will buy the items and have them delivered to the school.
