Time to Buy School Supplies

It's hard to believe it's the middle of April!! This is the time of the year that I start to put together a plan to amass school supplies for delivery in August.

I have to organize our 'Go Green' effort by contacting schools and getting containers, boxes and zip lock bags in their hands so that they can organize their collection effort. I've got a pretty good start on this endeavor.

I'll also have to determine how much cash is in our checking account so that I can purchase new supplies. I want to be able to place our order for school supplies with Kits4Kidz no later than May 5th.

Together, the recycled supplies from our 'Go Green' program along with the newly purchased supplies will comprise all of the resources that we will have available to help some 40 Chicago area schools.

If you haven't already donated to the cause there's still time to do so prior to May 5th. To make a tax deductible charitable donation simply may the check payable to Schools Count Corp and kindly mail it to Richard Flesher, 20048 S. Kohlwood Dr., Mokena, IL. 60448. Should you prefer to pay online simply go to our website, www.schoolscountcorp.org and you can make a contribution in that manner.

Please know that your generosity has much to do with student success and their willingness to give their best effort in the classroom.

Many thanks,
Dick
