This drive is one way we can come together for teachers and ease the burden of having to purchase school supplies out of their own pockets. By donating, we are not just giving pencils and paper. We are sending a message that we value our teachers, believe in our students, and are committed to supporting public education. I’m grateful to everyone who joins us in making this effort a success each year.”
