Barnwell County School District (BCSD) is proud to celebrate one of its outstanding educators, Mrs. Deborah Edwards, for being selected to serve as a DonorsChoose Teacher Ambassador, a prestigious volunteer leadership role supporting teachers nationwide.

DonorsChoose is a nonprofit organization that empowers the public to support public school classrooms. Teachers across the country use the platform to create project requests for the materials and experiences their students need. These requests are then fulfilled by generous donors, as well as corporate and foundation partners. Since its founding, DonorsChoose has delivered more than $1.8 billion in resources to classrooms across 92,000 schools nationwide and continues to bring vital funding to school districts like BCSD.

To expand its impact and reach more classrooms nationwide, DonorsChoose partners with outstanding educators who are passionate about helping their peers access classroom resources and funding opportunities. Mrs. Edwards answered this national call and was selected from thousands of applicants to serve as a DonorsChoose Teacher Ambassador.

In this volunteer leadership role, Mrs. Edwards will collaborate with teachers across Barnwell County School District and throughout South Carolina to guide them in creating and posting successful DonorsChoose classroom projects.

“I am honored to serve Williston-Elko Middle School and BCSD as a Teacher Ambassador,” said Mrs. Edwards. “In the six years that I have been a part of the DonorsChoose community, 40+ ideas have become fully funded realities for our students. Working together, we are making a positive impact on our future.”  Mrs. Edwards’ service as a Teacher Ambassador reflects her deep commitment to public education, her school community, and her belief in the limitless potential of every student.

“We are thrilled to have Mrs. Edwards represent our district and our state in this national program,” said Dr. Crissie Stapleton, BCSD Superintendent. “Her leadership and commitment to her students and colleagues are truly inspiring.”

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Edwards on this well-deserved honor. DonorsChoose and Barnwell County School District are proud to celebrate her ongoing efforts to bring more opportunities and resources to classrooms in our community and beyond.
