This year, we would like to better meet the needs of our middle school and high school clients by tailoring our school supply offerings to more closely deliver what teachers are requiring while still providing core supplies for elementary school students. We will also be working with local school districts to supply advanced calculators for students in upper level math and science classes whose family’s cannot absorb that expense. We need your help in a number of areas. If you would like to purchase school supplies for this drive, we can use:
- safety scissors
- crayons (16 or 24 pack)
- washable markers (8, 10 or 12 pack)
- colored pencils (8, 10, 12 pack)
- #2 sharpened pencils
- Large glue sticks
- Marble Notebooks – wide ruled
- wide ruled loose leaf
- college ruled loose leaf
- 1 inch binders
- 1.5 inch binders
- sharpie markers – black
- earbuds or headphone
- TI – 30XIIS Scientific calculators (no substitutes – schools have specific requirements)
Please Note: No backpacks are needed this year
If you prefer not to shop, you can make a monetary donation to supplement the Pantry funding for school supplies and we would be happy to shop for you. If you would like to volunteer either with shopping or distribution, please let Debbie Bernardini know. We would really appreciate your help! We need to receive all donations by August 9th. Please place donations in the box in the entryway marked “school supplies.” Distribution will be in August.
