As we wind down our school year and clean out desks, lockers, and backpacks, we are asking for donations of any unwanted and gently used, or new school supplies to help provide school supplies for lower-income students for next year. Examples of acceptable donations include unused loose-leaf paper; pencil sharpeners; pencils, crayons, colored pencils, highlighters or pens with at least half of their life left; rulers; usable (not dried) markers; folders; erasers; compasses; protractors; calculators; art supplies; book covers in good shape; and pencil boxes/bags. Each class will have a donation box, which will be picked up on the last day of school, June 3. Please bring in donations and help others in our community.
