Our teachers need help keeping classrooms healthy during cold and flu season. January brings fresh starts and a surge in winter germs. North Carolina educators are spending around $1,300 of their own money on school supplies-$400 more than the national average, according to a study conducted by the North Carolina Association of Educators.
