Teachers, Students & You
This time of year the list of needs for schools is significant and varied. While there are too many schools and needs to print here, I decided to connect you to several school districts. From their information, you can direct your donation to the neediest of classrooms. My source for information is from www.greatschools.org. There are hundreds of schools on this website from which to choose a recipient for your donation.
The following is a sampling of where your donations could go:
Corvallis School District 509j
(541) 757-5811; 13 schools - 6,559 students

With budget cuts and less hours to teach, instructors are hoping for increased donations and/or volunteer time so that they can provide the best possible educational opportunities for their students. Please take a minute to consider the impact your donation will make on hundreds of kids, and then go for it!
Best wishes,

PEARL BUCK CENTER
Pearl Buck Center Inc., is celebrating sixty years of enriching the lives of those affected by disabilities, through vocational, recreational, and educational programs. In recognizing this milestone, we also celebrate our community's support for people with disabilities.
Lisl Waechter believed that people with intellectual/developmental disabilities should have access to education, employment, and recreation, rather than being institutionalized or hidden at home-and our community agreed! In 1953, Lisl began Pearl Buck School for children with special needs, which grew to become Pearl Buck Center.
Long-time Eugene/Springfield residents may still think of Pearl Buck Center as the little school in South Eugene. If you have not toured our 48,000 square-foot facility in West Eugene, you may not be aware of the scope of services available to around 600 people annually:
Working for a Better Life: Adults with developmental disabilities learn vocational and social skills, earn wages, and gain independence, through jobs in our vocational training center, or in the community
Life Enhancing Activities Program (LEAP): Adults with developmental disabilities who are medically fragile or aging share recreational and community activities with friends
Pearl Buck Preschool: Specialized preschool for children whose parents have cognitive challenges, including parenting education and basic needs support. Our goals are that at-risk children reach their optimal development and enter kindergarten ready to learn, and that parents with cognitive differences provide adequate parenting in a safe, stable home.
Benefits to our participants extend to the entire community. Stable families, children thriving in standard classrooms, and working adults spending their wages locally, result in savings to special education, social services, and criminal justice systems. Annually, Pearl Buck Center contributes over $3,000,000 into our community's economy.
We invite you to visit us at 3690 W. 1st Ave., Eugene, OR, or go to www.pearlbuckcenter.com to learn more!
