We often deliver various types of supplies to a number of the schools in the North Lawndale neighborhood. We typically take California Ave. north to get to the schools and always pass Hammond Elementary on the way. Well, today we won't pass Hammond; rather, we'll stop in.
I have a good number of notebooks, pens, binders, pencils, art supplies, loose leaf paper and folders remaining from our delivery last month and the Asst. Principal at Hammond mentioned their need for these types of resources.
I don't know that much about Hammond but I'm looking forward to making the trek to the city to help the kids and learn a bit more about the school and neighborhood. Hammond is the 34th CPS school that we have worked with this fall. Glad we can help another school in the southern portion of the North Lawndale region.
The fact that I am going to Hammond towards the end of September simply underscores the fact that the needs of the children and school are ongoing throughout the year. Providing supplies once a year is helpful but it doesn't fully address their continuing needs.
Glad we can help a bit!
