Writing Center staff collecting supplies for Harvard Park Elementary School

This year we are extending our giving efforts to Harvard Park Harvard Park Elementary studentsElementary School. We are collecting school and office supplies to deliver to them at the end of the semester. Jim Hayes, Harvard Park’s principal, has given us the following wish list to help students and teachers start off well in the spring: #2 pencils, spiral notebooks (wide-ruled paper), colored pencils, washable markers, scissors (blunt-edged), rulers, wide-ruled loose leaf paper, copy paper, Post-It® Notes, staples, push pins and any general office supplies. (Glue is not needed.)

We will have a box in the Writing Center for any supplies you would like to donate. We are collecting items until Tuesday, Dec. 15. If you would prefer to make a cash donation, we are also planning to purchase some gas cards to donate for students in need here at LLCC. As we have done in previous years, we will pass the cards along to Mary Beth Ray who oversees helping the students in this way. So, please, when you are holiday shopping, keep these students in mind and pick up an extra item.

Thank you!!
