Charleston’s West Side Middle is facing a real challenge: keeping students in class when so many are dealing with tough situations outside of school. Mary Wilkinson, who supports these kids every day, says even small rewards—like snacks or a cool tumbler—can make a huge difference in motivating attendance. But the school’s budget can’t cover these incentives, so they’ve launched a DonorsChoose campaign to help. They’re close to their goal, but time is running out. What do you think—should more schools use community-funded incentives to boost attendance? #Education #CharlestonWV #EducationMatters
