For the next three weeks, the West Philly Coalition for Neighborhood Schools will be collecting school supplies for the classrooms and students at Lea School at 47th and Locust. We hope to collect enough to bring a box of supplies to each teacher on Sept. 1st so their classrooms will be well-stocked for the first day of classes.
To donate, there are bins at University Dollar Plus (supplies available for sale) at 4734 Spruce Street or at St. Mary's Nursery at 3916 Locust Walk. Items needed include pencils, pens, pencil cases, erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons, markers, composition books, spiral notebooks, loose leaf paper, two-pocket folders, folders with fasteners, loose leaf note books, book bags, protractors, compasses, scissors, dry erase markers, index cards, post-it notes, glue sticks and tissues. Anyone interested in assisting with the drive, please contact Kelly Chancey at kchancey [at] hotmail [dot] com Thanks!
