As K-12 schools face unique challenges heading into the 2020-2021 school year in the midst of a pandemic, NewWave Communications and the other Cable One family of brands have donated more than $50,000 to schools in the communities they serve in an effort to help fulfill the need for traditional school supplies as well as increased needs for technology and protective equipment.
“As students and teachers head back to school this fall, we know budgets are tight due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and there are many schools and students who may lack the resources to purchase school supplies,” said Julie Laulis, president and CEO. “We hope these donations will assist in providing the tools and materials needed to help start the school year off right.”
In Missouri, $2,500 was distributed among Poplar Bluff High School, Joplin Schools and Kirksville R-III School District.
“We are proud to support schools in the communities we serve during these unprecedented times with donations that will help provide immediate assistance to those who need it the most,” Laulis said.
