Through sales of our Nebraska Strong shirts, we’ve raised $9,000 to support The American Red Cross of Nebraska and Southwest Iowa flood relief efforts. 

On behalf of Nebraska Loves Public Schools and our partner, Bergman Incentives, we are grateful for your support. It’s no surprise Nebraskans stepped up for our communities and we’ve been overwhelmed by the support of this fundraiser.

Nebraska Strong represents the resiliency of our state, our community investment, and a commitment to our families and students. With your help, we’re doing our part to support those school communities impacted. Thank you for your support.

WHAT’S NEXT

Natural disasters can be especially difficult for students, educators and families alike. The devastation to a familiar environment – a home, school, or community – can be long-lasting, distressing, and traumatic. As communities prepare for what’s next, addressing the mental health needs of those impacted becomes an increasing priority.

Now that our communities are returning to a new normal, it is important to be compassionate and to offer support where needed, both physically and emotionally.

To understand how daily events and crises like this impact our public schools, we encourage you to explore the resources below and to watch The Mind Inside, our film series on mental health in Nebraska schools.

• Psychological First Aid for Children, Parents, and Other Caregivers after Natural Disasters 
• Helping Children After a Natural Disaster: Information for Families and Educators
• More resources: National School Crisis and Bereavement
