School Supply Project
School Supply Project Deadline is August 11
Whether you are in a classroom in Wuhan, China ent
ertaining the kids, or in a classroom in East Hartford where the class sizes are less than half China's sixty kids per room, the need for school supplies is a constant. Kids need pencils and books and folders and all kinds of things. And they need them new every year.
Do you remember the first day of school when everything was fresh and everything was possible? When the teacher was new, and you got to make a fresh start? Remember the pencil box with its ruler and erasers? Nothing has changed.
Sam Leone is our School Supply Project Leader and he is looking for you to provide as much of the following as you can give:
- Solid colored unisex backpacks
- Folders
- Three ring binders
- Ballpoint pens
- All types of new school supplies
- Money to purchase the needed items
Stores are having "Going Back to School" supplies sales as we speak.
Checks should be made payable to East Hartford Rotary Club Charitable Fund.
Just as our fellow Rotarian, David, from Perth, Australia, is doing in a public school classroom in Wuhan, let's put a smile on the faces of our kids the first day of school.
