The School Supply Drive is ongoing!
We could use more help!
The School Supply Drive table has been updated, so please feel free to pick up a
card or two as often as you like. We are hoping to supply 1-3 students from
each grade level (K-4 + ESE) at Sunrise Elementary during the year. We will
continue this project all year long, as supplies run low as they are used.
Usually, by Christmastime, the teachers have a new list of supplies that have
been used up and are in desperate need. Sadly, these supplies are not provided
to the teachers, and if the students cannot get it provided by the parents. The
teacher has to resort to docking grades to the poor student or buying these
supplies themselves.
The teachers get a total of $25.00 a year for classroom supplies, including any
copies that they make at the school. That $25.00 is usually used up before the
school year starts, because of different letters to the parents for the new
school year, etc. Most all of the teachers I have talked to, tell me that they
spend hundreds of dollars each year on school supplies. They rely on donations
from faithful parents and community help because the majority of the money they
spend is used on the copier and printouts. Of course, they continually have to
buy some supplies for something or another, so these donations are extremely
important. I implore you to continue to help out.
Thank you so very much for all of the donated supplies. You have truly made a
difference. Your continued support will help to shine God’s light onto one more
classroom!
