Palm Beach County School Supplies- What You Need to Know!
School begins in Palm Beach County on August 22! For our children that means making the most of the "free" time they have left... packing in as many trips to the beach or mall that they can. It means cherishing every minute past 8 a.m. that they get to sleep!
And, I can remember that back to school for me meant buying the largest box of Crayola crayons they made! Unfortunately for many years budget cuts and the economy have made it hard for many children and schools to have the supplies they need to give all of our children the education they deserve. I heard one parent of a private school remark that they would send their own children to class with extra supplies for the classroom.
Well in 2002, The School Supply Guys of Palm Beach County took it upon themselves to help make a difference in this area. This began as a Girl Scout project and through friends and neighbors has blossomed into helping 50 children in 1 school the first year to over 41 schools and more than 2200 children.
If you're concerned about the quality of education please take a look at The School Supply Guys and what they're doing to make a difference. Even if you don't live in Palm Beach County, look at your own area and see if you can make a small donation to help.
