Greene County Schools partners with Purposity to meet student needs
Help the Greene County School System get to 300 followers on Purposity! Simply download the Purposity app and follow Greene County Schools to help us reach our goal.
Greensboro, Ga.—The Greene County School System recently announced a partnership with Purposity, an app connecting users with one-to-one needs in their community.
The Greene County School System's new Wraparound Program aims to meet the needs students have outside the classroom, such as food, clothing, hygiene products, school supplies and other basic necessities students might not have any other way to access. It is well known that life outside of school greatly impacts how a student performs in school. In order to organize the community to help meet some of these needs, the district has partnered with Purposity, which, connected through Amazon, will provide our Wraparound Program with a way to meet the specific and direct needs of students in our schools.
The way it works is that the district will post a student need on the app, (e.g. A student’s family loses everything in a housefire and the family needs new clothes, or a student needs a jacket in the winter or they've outgrown their shoes) and then our Purposity followers will get notified and be able to donate or even purchase a specific item through Amazon that will be shipped directly to the school to help that family. Anyone in the community who wants to help will be able to contribute.
Here’s the catch: the district cannot begin posting student needs until we have built a community of at least 300 followers! So please, take just a moment and help us get there by downloading the app on your phone and following Greene County Schools! Doing this does not commit you to any financial obligation, and it only takes a few minutes. If everyone who sees this post did this, we could easily reach 300 followers today!
Given the grave situation we all find ourselves in with this coronavirus outbreak, this Purposity app provides us all a way to reach out and assist those in need quickly and safely. Please go right now and download the app to your phone and follow the Greene County School System.
Thank you, in advance, for supporting the needs of our students.
