Coronavirus Resources & Support
"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." - Charles Dickens
As our world processes and responds to this international crisis, students, coaches, and teachers will all be facing new challenges in a wide variety of ways. We can't solve this crisis, but we can help take care of each other.
No one knows exactly what that will look like, but the point is we START SOMEWHERE and figure it out as we go.
Below are a few ways to help and a few resources for our community. It's a start. But there's a lot more that we can do for each other!
As new ideas, resources, or ways to help are found, we'll update this page! It'll be a messy page and not super well organized, but nothing about our situation is normal right now.
The big things: We are all human. We are all in this. And we WILL get through this TOGETHER.
Stay safe and healthy, EastMO!

Ways to Help
IDEASDONATE TO FOOD BANKS!
One of the most essential items people in our communities will need is FOOD. Consider making a donation! GIVE BLOOD If you can, blood donations will save lives. The Surgeon General warned that blood banks are dangerously low. ORDER TAKE OUT FROM LOCAL RESTAURANTS If you are able to, order take out from your favorite local restaurants. The money will help workers who won't be paid during a shut down. RECORD YOUR PERFORMANCE! Did you have your interp ready to go for districts? Consider recording it and sending us a link to the video! We'll post it for others to enjoy! Did you know: NSDA Alum Josh Gad (voice of Olaf) is reading children's stories every evening? We're just getting started... HAVE AN IDEA FOR OTHER WAYS TO HELP? EastMO Coaches & Students are AWESOME -- creative ideas are welcome! Send your ideas in via the form on the CONTACT US page! |

Curriculum Support
Since most Speech & Debate teachers are "singletons" in their buildings, we'll form an inter-district "PLC" for each other!
