Parish-Wide School Supplies Project for students and teachers
Our parish-wide project to provide Mother Caroline Academy students and teachers with school supplies will run from August 22-23 through September 19-20. Each weekend, baskets will be placed at church entrances for collection of “new” items. Since the school is totally privately funded, they depend on donations from individuals, churches, and organizations. So, as you purchase back-to-school items or refill your own home and/or business office supplies, please consider buying and donating the following supplies:
Items needed (64 students & 9 volunteer teachers):
-hand-held calculators (only basic keys)
-AAA batteries for graphing calculators (4 per calculator)
-index cards
-tri-fold poster boards
-white board markers (black and other colors)
-xerox paper
-zipper binders
-3-ring notebook paper
-glue sticks
-highlighters
-pencils
-colored pencils
-black pens
-blue pens
-markers
-rulers
-graph paper
-scissors
You can drop off donations in the collection baskets near church entrances the weekends of August 22-23, 29-30, and September 5-6, 12-13, 19-20. Any amount of supplies will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your generosity!!!!
