According to a recent survey commissioned by Box Tops for Education, teachers are the most trusted individuals of influence in their community, following first responders, doctors and nurses. Nearly half of respondents also strongly agreed that teachers are not celebrated enough. With students heading back to school this January, Emmy-nominated author, host, producer, MIT-engineer expert, and mom of two, Emily Calandrelli, joined Charlotte Today to talk about the need for equity in education, including tips on how anyone – parents, friends, family or neighbors can get involved and support schools.
Viewers can download the Box Tops for Education app where they can scan items at the grocery store to see if they are applicable to the Box Tops program. Plus if you are looking to give back to local schools and teachers you can do that on the app as well. Plus, there is an opportunity to win $20,000.
