Today commences the first of nearly 40, yes 40, school supply pickups this spring. The start of this wonderful recycling effort was started by Lockport East Science Teacher Sarah Steinke. Sarah has long been an advocate of reusing various supplies and stepped to the fore when our charity started looking for public schools who could help us.
Sarah has long collected, sorted and boxed binders, pencils, binders and a whole host of other supplies that she, in turn, provides to our charity so that we can get them in the hands of kids who really need them.
Sarah's work involves other Lockport teachers as well as hundreds of students. It is fair to say that her efforts have provided us with many thousands of dollars of perfectly good supplies that students-in-need so desperately desire and can't go without.
Not only does Sarah spearhead this enormous initiative she has also donated funds to our charity, painted schools, loaded trucks and recently helped secure a grant from the Daughters of the American Revolution. This grant will go a long way towards buying band instruments for John Hay Elementary School in Chicago.
With Sarah and Lockport at our side, Schools Count Corp will continue to be able to support many thousands of students in the years to come. Well done Sarah.
