You can help alleviate the strain on Flint teachers by donating the school supplies so badly needed to help kids who've been affected by the unsafe drinking water scandal. MEA members interested in helping are asked to conduct supply drives and deliver donations to local UniServ offices as soon as possible.  Items needed include: pens, pencils, colored pencils, markers, paper, binders, wipes, hand sanitizer, glue sticks, crayons, art supplies, PE equipment (balls, jump ropes, etc.), books, stickers, sticky notes, and more. Tax-deductible contribution can also be made. Make your check payable to the MEA Classroom Support Fund, with "Flint" in the memo line. Mail checks to MEA Classroom Support Fund, Attn: Rick Trainor, 1216 Kendale Blvd., P.O. Box 2573, East Lansing, MI 48826.
