have backpacks, glue sticks, crayons, etc. to start next year. But if they are able, the
items most in need for the upcoming year are:”
Tissues
Hand sanitizer
Hand soap
Dry-erase white board markers
“The school’s social worker has just implemented a program to send food home over
the weekends for some of our needier families. We can always use items for that such as:”
Boxed macaroni and cheese
Microwave-ready Chef Boyardee Ravioli, Spaghetti O’s, etc. Pasta, rice
Granola bars or cereal bars
Peanut butter/jelly (plastic jars, not glass)
Ramen noodles/instant soups
