School Supply Kits sorted out
School Supply Kits sorted out
Our cheerful volunteers (parents and kids!) sorted out the School Supply Kits for 1.5 hours on Thursday August 14.
The families who ordered were able to choose if they preferred to pick up at Open House or if they wanted to pick their kits before Open House.
Thanks to all who ordered and to our volunteer sorters! We quickly and easily raised $400 with the sale of these 80 kits.
Whether you ordered or not, please take a minute to take this survey. Feedback from this will help us decide if we will continue to offer this service to our families.
