The supplies provided in the donors choose helped to make this program a success. \r\n\r\nIn addition, there were a number of learners who were in need of school supplies at the start of the school year. With the supplies from this project, we were able to donate a number of supply bags to learners in the school building. It is important to us for all learners to be successful, and being prepared with supplies helps our learners to be prepared for success. The items from this project have helped our learners with both success in the classroom, and through our social emotional school programming. The learners and I are very grateful.
