WHY SUPPORT SHANKLIN

SUPPORTING SHANKLIN

The Joseph S. Shanklin Elementary School, a Title 1 school, serves students from kindergarten to grade 5. The school receives Title 1 federal funding as it has a high number of children from low income families.

 

Shanklin is one of three schools in Beaufort County, South Carolina, that creates a positive school culture, following a learning model called the "Leader in Me".

​

​

​

Unlike other district schools however, Shanklin faces distinct challenges:

​

*About 20% of the students are transient throughout the year

*School location limits easy access to afterschool community resources

*About 5% of children come from homeless families
