C-SC Education Department shares resources with Clark Co. School District
Thursday, August 25, 2011

CANTON, Mo. – Members and alumni of the Culver-Stockton College Education Department are coordinating an effort to provide young students within the Clark County, Missouri school district with classroom books as the district continues to deal with mold issues within two facilities. Black Hawk and Running Fox schools were closed, and classes were relocated to other facilities within the district, before the start of the school year after potentially hazardous mold was discovered in the buildings.

The C-SC Education Department has an expansive collection of books appropriate for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, which will be loaned to the Clark County classes that were temporarily relocated. Coordinators will spend the remainder of the week working to create an inventory and preparing the books for transport.

Lawanda Losey, an education major and 2011 graduate of Culver-Stockton College, has a daughter in elementary school within the Clark County School District. “When I heard about Clark County’s situation, I wanted to help – especially given that my daughter is a student. I thought, we have access to all these books at Culver-Stockton, wouldn’t it be great to provide Clark County teachers and students some classroom resources to use while their buildings are cleaned,” said Losey.

Losey hopes to begin delivering books to Clark County classes by Monday, Aug. 29.
