School Supplies 2021
For the past 2 years, we've held a school supply drive in January. Why January? Traditionally, by the time January comes around, September's surplus has either greatly diminished or vanished completely. It's the time of year that teachers start reaching into their pockets and paychecks to make sure their students don't go without.
But then came 2020.
And some schools went to virtual learning. Some went to hybrid teaching. Some were full-time in-classrooms. And regardless of what each school did, there was more stress, more worry, more confusion, and more chaos.
That's where we shine. One of our greatest joy's is to step into the chaos and bring out the good. So we're looking forward to 2021, and our School Supply Drive for one big reason. Students in Portsmouth will be coming back to their classrooms, and we want them to have every single thing that they need to stay safe and healthy. That means helping the Rockstar's that are our teachers know that we have their backs, and we've got them covered.
We're collecting the following supplies, at the following times and locations. If you can't snag some supplies, please consider donating to help us be able to purchase all that we need! We're collecting through the month of January, so don't delay!
