Back To School: Supporting A Second Classroom in Midlothian
The Powell Law Group is excited to announce that this year, we’ll be sponsoring not one- BUT TWO CLASSROOMS in the Chesterfield County Public School system!
With most teachers spending an average of $479 of their own income on supplies for their students and classroom, we began helping a middle school classroom near us. Thank you for all your amazing help!
These supplies will be going to Ms. Wyatt's class this week to help her get ready for the first day of school, September 4th. Learn about our second classroom below!
In addition to Ms. Wyatt from Robious Middle School, we will be sponsoring Ms. Jordan Liesfeld, a first year Biology teacher at Midlothian High School! Ms. Liesfeld graduated from Randolph-Macon College with a major in biology and a minor in secondary education.
The Powell Law Group is excited to be partnering with both of these talented new educators in preparing their students for a successful school year. As a high school teacher, Ms. Liesfeld has different needs for her classroom than what we’ve listed for the middle school classroom we’re sponsoring. She will be helping students understand concepts like the scientific method, cells, photosynthesis, and ecology through hands on lessons and labs!
“High school is when you can really start to follow your own passions, taking the classes that you want and exploring the world outside of your school. Whether it is what work you’ll do or what you’ll study in college, high school is a really important time to expose you to the ideas and information that spark that kind of interest. I hope that in sponsoring her classroom, we can continue to provide Ms. Liesfeld with all the resources and support she needs to help her students prepare for their future.”
How can I help?
1. Donate supplies from the comfort of your own home through our Amazon Wish List
2. You can bring unused loose-leaf paper, pens, pencils, latex free gloves, highlighters, folders, sharpies, paper towels, index cards, sticky notes, staples, and tape to our office at 14407 Justice Road Midlothian VA 23113 and drop them in our donation box in the lobby.
3. You can also mail or drop off gift cards to the following places: Kroger, Office Max, Walmart, Target, Amazon.
Our school supply drive is only the beginning- we’ll be sharing updates from Ms. Liesfield’s classroom and activities throughout the school year, so there will be additional opportunities to donate again. We understand that teachers’ needs and students’ needs change as the year goes on- so we’re here all year!
It's not too late to help us give these teachers a great kick-off to their teaching careers. Every supply will help these teachers have a successful year in the Chesterfield County School District!
