Back to School? Already?
Even though summer vacation has just begun, back to school time is already on our minds. We have a lot to get done to make sure we have enough supplies to fill all the back to school orders. For our school supplies program we offer backpacks alone and backpacks full of supplies, for two different age groups (5 to 8 and 9 to 12), and for both genders. We have a list of supplies that we created from the school district’s recommended supplies list, and we do our best to offer children everything they will need. We rely almost completely on donations for all of our school supplies. We are happy to accept almost anything school related, but are particularly in need of college rule notebooks and filler paper, erasers, markers (wide and fine), color pencils, scissors and boys backpacks. If you would like to help, you can drop off supplies at our hub or host a drive. Contact Cori at corib@babycorner.org for more information.
