To Collect School Supplies?



Turns out, it takes very few! Over the past several days, bags of pencils, notebooks, crayons, coloring books, pens, index cards and highlighters have been appearing at my office door -- as if by magic!

All of these school supplies are destined for the pediatric wing at the Richmond University Medical Center. What better than a fresh new notebook, thousands of blank coloring book pages, and newly sharpened colored pencils and crayons to put a s
mile on a deserving child's face?

So far, we have two large boxes filled, and we're happy to fill another, so keep those pens and paper coming. Remember how much fun a new box of crayons is to a child -- a picture can be made with little crayon stubs, but it is just not as much fu
n.

These pictures only show the first half of the donations we received. Thank you once again to everyone who donated school supplies and helped decorate the box!

  1. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your donations! I will be bringing the filled boxes to the Leadership Development Program Office tomorrow. I cannot thank all of you enough for your donations and willingness to participate in our school supply drive!
