About one thousand dollars each. That's what South Lincoln Elementary School (Lincoln County Tennessee) teachers lost in educational supplies and materials on Monday, April 28, when an F-3 tornado hit the school causing significant damage. And, while it may not seem like a lot of money to most people, "teachers spend more than $1,000 at a minimum on stocking their classrooms with supplies, books, tables, bookcases, decorations, and educational tools," said Joshua Blackburn, a junior education student at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). "It truly is a small fortune that teachers pay out of their own pockets to give our children the education they deserve. In addition to the educational supplies, teachers lost valuable lesson plans, that required hours of individual research time developed over the course of their teaching careers."
