School Supplies Drive: UPDATE!

And the winning team is...
Middle School!


The Middle School Team earned 33,995 points over the high school team bringing in 24, 931 points!!! Great job to both teams! The running start drive is now sorting and distributing all the collected supplies and will be distributing to families in need throughout the rest of the month of August. Here is what we collected:

2 backpacks

94 folders

103 notebooks

44 glue sticks and glue bottles

 319 pencils

 213 pens

52 Packs of crayons, markers, colored pencils and watercolors


That's not counting scissors, erasers, loose-leaf paper, rulers, binders, other supplies,
 and some very generous monetary donations!
Abigail Thompson helped to organize and pack up all the supplies before it was sent over to the Running Start Program at United Way. 

Thank you to all youth and adults who donated and participated in this program!

Did you know? We collected more this year than we did two years ago in 2009!  See the results here:
