""We would truly like to thank everyone who donated to the school supply drive. It was absolutely incredible. For our students, its not just a new backpack. It's a new start to the year, a self-esteem booster, and a way to prevent bullying.
Unfortunately, our students are often targeted for bullying because they come from a different country and come from low-income households. Having new school supplies means they stick out less and are less of a target in school. Every child deserves a quality education, and you are helping our students receive one.THANK-YOU."
Here is what YOU made happen!
42 children will receive a new backpack.
70+ notebooks and 115 folders will soon be filled by students' work.
And piles of crayons, pencils, paper and pens for the kids to use at the after-school program.
You all amaze us every time.
Thank you for answering when we find a group that could use a hand.
Thank you for brightening the school year of children you have not met.
Thank you for realizing that a small gesture can make a HUGE difference.
