Back to School Supply Drive on now!By: Kim Farnes
June 04, 2009
Communities in Schools of Orting is starting to collect needed school supplies for Orting youth once again! With so many local families struggling this year, we will need more supplies than ever before!
Kids need: lunch boxes, pencil boxes, markers, crayons, scizzors, pens, paper (loose leaf and spiral notebooks), paint, kleenex, binders (1 and 3 inch binders), rulers, stick glue, highlighters, backpacks and more! Studies show that children who show up to school with the necessary tools and prepared to learn, will have better attendance, grades and attitudes than those who don't! Please help us get our Orting kids what they need for school this year and off to a great start! You can donate items at the following locations: Lab Co. Espresso, Los Pinos, Around the Corner Cafe, The new Fire/Safety Building, Curves, United Methodist Church and at Key Bank. Distribution of school supplies will be at the old Orting Middle School - 121 Whitesell St NE Orting - in the Choir room on August 12 from 10 - noon and at the Taste of Orting - in the Eagles Parking lot - on August 29th from noon - 4 PM. |
