Cool Weather is Coming

October is just around the corner and with it comes some cool temperatures.

Over the next five to six weeks Schools Count will collect new coats and those gently used ones which are clean.  We'll also collect gloves, mittens, and winter hats.  Our goal is to collect 1,000 coats.  Please be a part of this effort to enable children to get to and from school by staying warm.

Providing supplies to students for their use throughout the year is critical.  It's also important for the students to have warm clothing during the frigid winter months.   If students had to walk to school or wait for a bus without warm clothing that would just add to their difficulties.

Please check your closets, chat with friend and neighbors and seek out the support of your family in terms of helping us assist the children in the CPS system and Harvey, IL.

Thanks,
Dick
