Back To School Supply Drive- Fairfield City Schools!!
Tosha at
Savings Makes Cents, Becky at
Savings Bits and Pieces and myself have teamed up and organized a Back To School Supply Drive for our local school district-
Fairfield City Schools. With help from our friend and mentor Becky at
Nickels-n-Dimes, we are hoping to collect enough school supplies to help our local students in need. With so many families hit hard by the struggling economy, buying school supplies is usually the last items that a family adds to their budget. It is truly an honor knowing that we can help our students start the year off right by providing them with the supplies they need to get a great education.
Our Back to School Supply Drive will start during our Annual Back to School Parade. The Parade is something that
Fairfield City Schools hold every year to get the students excited about coming back to school and to kick off the start of a new school year. This year it will be on Saturday August 21, 2010 starting at 11:30am. The parade travels from Hicks Blvd to Nilles Road and then ends at the Intermediate Building off Route 4, where we will continue to collect supplies until 5pm. We have made a list below of the supplies that are needed for the students throughout the entire district. Any donation big or small is welcome. Every donation makes a difference. We are asking residents, community groups and local businesses to participate in our Back to School Supply Drive by donating any supplies listed below. If you would like to donate and are unable to make it to the Drive, please contact us to make arrangements for us to pick up your donation.
If you would like to volunteer- collect, sort and organize donated supplies, please fill out this
form with your contact information. We will start contacting volunteers early August.
