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!

HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR AN ADDITION?  USE THE CONTACT US PAGE AND WE'LL GET IT ADDED ASAP!

Ways to Help

IDEAS

DONATE 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?

Curriculum Support

Since most Speech & Debate teachers are "singletons" in their buildings, we'll form an inter-district "PLC" for each other!
​​Coaches each bring our own strengths into this community.  To offer up your strengths to your colleagues, or to see what others may have, use this doc.

​To view it, you'll need to "request access" - we're keeping it to coaches only.  :)
