An Abundance of School Supplies

Thanks to your generosity, our annual school-supply drive was another winner for area low-income students. Scores of students will have the supplies they’ll need to start the new term, including 62 boxes of colored pencils, 202 glue sticks, and 420 pencils. We were able to pass along $200 in cash donations to West Seattle Rotary for bulk purchase of supplies and to earmark $1,200 for special supplies that Highland Park, Roxhill, Sanislo, and West Seattle elementaries would otherwise not be able afford. Finally, we joined West Seattle Rotary in giving this area's Head Start coordinator 92 backpacks to equip students for this coming term and the next.
