Ongoing Efforts

Though we have delivered tens of thousands of all sorts of student supplies to Chicago and New Orleans schools - and about to head to Joplin, MO - the goal is to continue these efforts going forward. To help people overcome their lack of resources will require us, and others, to maintain our work.

Aside from providing supplies to schools and students-in-need, it is our goal to assist schools, when possible, with other needs. For example, as the weather gets colder students will need boots, gloves/mittens and warm winter coats.

On other occasions, Schools Count Corp. will endeavor to help the various schools. Often schools need sports equipment, reading materials, and the like. At other times, schools contact us with special needs which may include teacher materials.

Last year, during the month of February, a large group of volunteers painted all three floors of Tanner Elementary School. It's possible we may do something of this nature going forward.

At any rate, our efforts to persist will continue throughout the year. Please think of ways that you can help with any of the above. As always, I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Dick
