School
Tools One of our biggest supply drives
every year is School Tools. Classroom Central partners with Communities In Schools and
WSOC-TV in August for this month-long back to school supply drive.
This year was another huge success thanks to the many companies and
individuals that either hosted a collection site or made donations at
various locations during the drive. With your help and support, we received
over 52,000 pounds of school supplies!!
Give Kids a Book
Many of the students served by Classroom Central have one or zero
age-appropriate books at home. Throughout the month of March, Classroom Central
partners with LittleOnes Magazine and Starbucks Coffee for Give Kids a Book. This supply drive
seeks to put a book in the hands of children for whom the idea
of a bedtime story may be a fantasy.
Donations of new and gently-used books are accepted at various collections
sites. Whether it is a book that has been sitting on the shelf or a brand
new one, support of this initiative can help make a huge impact in the
life of a child.
Stuff the Bus
It may seem that football and school supplies have nothing in common, but every
year Stuff the Bus brings to
the two together. Football fans donate supplies during a Carolina Panthers'
preseason game, from pencils and paper to binders and book bags. A great game
and a chance to help students start the school year off right!
