CHAPEL HILL — Classes were back in session Friday at Wise Elementary in the Chapel Hill ISD after being called off Thursday due to a fire. But it’s now been learned that the flames destroyed many of the classroom’s contents — and help is being requested to restock the room. Mrs. Griffin, a 30-year veteran teacher, had to throw everything in her classroom away after it was ruined. Authorities with the Chapel Hill Fire Department told KETK the fire was smoldering all night before being detected and extinguished. Now, the community is being called upon to ease the situation by making donations of teaching supplies and classroom necessities.
The following items are needed to resupply the classroom:
Plastic Bins
Staplers
Tape dispenser
Markers
Pens and pencils
Bulletin board supplies
Puzzles
Books
Anything else you may think of that a Kindergarten teacher could use
Any money or gift cards donated will be spent on getting the classroom functioning again
Contact Wise Elementary for dropoff station locations. Also, you can attend the BMX bike show on Wednesday, September 18, at Rusty Taco at 7922 South Broadway, with proceeds going to Wise Elementary. They will also be accepting the above donations and will deliver them to the school.
