Summer Supply Drive Comes to a Close

Our Tools 4 Seminole Schools' Annual Supply Drive has come to a close and with the support of local businesses, churches, civic organizations, and individuals, thousands of school supply items were donated to restock our free teacher resource store for the school year. In addition to our partners who hosted supply drives, many companies come in for volunteer days, and individuals donated supplies through our virtual site. Thank you for helping our teachers have much needed school supplies to support them throughout the year.  


"As a teacher in a Title 1 school, your donations are greatly appreciated and help thousands of students to be able to focus on school and teachers to improve the quality of instruction their students receive!"
