School Supplies Update

A wooden desk is covered with art supplies, including paint, markers, and scissors.

Good morning!

We have about 30 boxes of basic school supply kits going to each school along with some boxes of backpacks for elementary schools, from the regional office of education. I am waiting on 400 more backpacks to come in from the Kids In Need Foundation, but they have only said they are working hard to get them delivered before school starts (yipes!).

Devonshire/Highland are doing joint supply distributions on August 11th in the morning and August 12th in the afternoon. This year, I am not distributing free/reduced lunch lists as a qualification for supplies unless you tell me that's what you want for your distribution. I suggest planning your distribution events, and putting out what you have, with more supplies continually coming in from my donating organizations. 

Please share your distribution event details with me; I would like to stop by the events to see parents, and share some ParentSquare information!

Thank you,
Diana Juarez
