There are more than 76,000 students living in
poverty in Charlotte, and many of these students will show up on the first day
of school empty handed.Children living
in poverty have many obstacles to overcome; not having school supplies
shouldn’t be one of them.
Join us in our effort to provide students with the school supplies they need to succeed in the classroom.
Schools Tools is a partnership between Classroom Central,
Communities In Schools and WSOC-TV to collect new school supplies for students
in the Charlotte region.Among the
most-needed schools supplies are folders, pencils, glue sticks, pens, ruled
paper, color pencils, markers, backpacks, highlighters and erasers.
Schools Tools kicks off August 1 and concludes August 31.Please donate and we’ll make sure the
supplies are put to good use by local students.Your support is more crucial than ever this year.Click here to learn how YOU can HELP.
