Help give students the tools they need to succeed!
Running a school supply drive helps level the playing field for children in need, eases the financial burden on low-income families, and saves educators from spending out-of-pocket. By ensuring every student has the tools they need to learn, you empower them with confidence and foster a positive, distraction-free classroom environment.
Middle school is when supply lists grow and item costs escalate. This current list is from Des Moines Public Schools.
There is a never-ending need for these supplies, so set a goal that seems reasonable for your team.
