• Highlighters
• Dry Erase Markers
• Composition Books
• Filler Paper
• Glue Sticks
• Pocket Folders
Did you know that 54% of children in our community live below the poverty line and can’t afford basic school supplies?
This means 1 in 2 local students start school without the essentials they need to feel included and succeed in the classroom.
To make a positive impact on these students, we’re partnering with Classroom Central to ensure that all local students have
what they need to succeed. Classroom Central supports over 162,000 students and their teachers in 248 high-need schools,
across six regional school districts around Charlotte, and provides them with free school supplies and classroom resources.
Despite the efforts of Classroom Central, the need is our community is not decreasing. Every day, more people move the the
Charlotte region, and additional students and families require their assistance. To meet this ever-growing demand, their goal is
to collect 1,000,000 supplies - all of which will be distributed directly to local students!
If you are not able to join us, please consider making a donation to Classroom Central using their Spark Good Walmart registry. Items will be shipped directly to Classroom Central and donors have the option to “round up” to also donate needed funds. https://www.walmart.com/registry/RR/9ad671f1-5b08-4eb6-8c34-ad10c54d9989
