ROCHELLE – Tyson Foods is donating $26,388 to help fund Rochelle school district teacher projects.
The company has partnered with DonorsChoose.org to support teachers with a $1 million investment. This comes as part of Tyson’s commitment to support the communities in which their plants are located.
“We have a responsibility to support our communities in a variety of ways, including equipping our teachers with the resources they need as an effective way to support education,” said Debra Vernon, Tyson senior director, corporate social responsibilities, in a press release. “Through the DonorsChoose.org model teachers can focus on the individual needs of their classrooms and students can experience new or better ways to learn.”
The money will be used to fund projects for 46 school districts in 37 different Tyson communities. Rochelle has received a total of $26,388 to split between the two districts with each project receiving a max of $1,000.
