COFFEE’S ON US AT INDIAN LAND ELEMENTARY One Small Way We Appreciate Teachers
In 2017, when Edutopia.org asked people to describe the traits of a teacher who had changed their lives, the overwhelming majority of responses were not about test scores. Instead, they responded that teachers who had changed their lives made them feel safe and loved. Great teachers model patience and go above and beyond to help students believe in themselves and reach their full potentials. That’s why this month at Indian Land Elementary, coffee is on us. Our nonprofit organization, Justice4Kids, is providing coffee for a month to show our appreciation for the impact education professionals have on our community — not only through teaching children how to read and write but also for all the above-and-beyond things we know they do. We provide everything the staff needs to take a break from their hectic days and enjoy a cup of joe: coffee, creamer, and even personalized cups. We know teachers and all their support staff deserve it. Nobody knows that more than Linda Blackwell, David’s wife. She has been active in the Lancaster County School District as a teacher, principal, and as an administrator and as the Director of Elementary Education for most of her career. We took inspiration from her as we came up with this small way to show our support for teachers and to brighten their days. Indian Land Elementary isn’t the only school for which we’ve provided coffee. In November, we did the same thing for Van Wyck Elementary School and for Indian Land Middle School. At David Blackwell Law, we understand that by supporting education professionals, we are supporting our future.
When our nonprofit Justice4Kids isn’t providing coffee for teachers, it’s busy supporting the local backpack program that provides backpacks filled with food for children to take home over the weekend so they won’t go hungry. In addition, Justice4Kids supports our children by giving coaches funding to provide shoes, socks, gloves, and other sports necessities so that these children can participate.
