School Supplies

I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.
- You've Got Mail

The context is different, but new school supplies can bring a smile to about anyone's face.  Donna has been hard at work setting up visits to schools in Uganda.  She's been collecting a range of supplies from many generous folks near Pullman.  We are hoping to take more over.

Here is a list of some types of supplies needed in schools:
  • calculators
  • spiral bound, composition or other notebooks
  • filler paper
  • binders
  • colored pencils, crayons or markers
  • ruler with English and metric measurements
  • colored pens
  • erasers
  • pencil box
  • glue sticks
  • graph paper
  • pens and pencils
  • pencil sharpeners (individual and classroom)
  • pocket dictionaries
  • pencil cases
  • reams or boxes of papers
  • children's books
  • etc.
Please send Donna or I a message or leave a comment on the blog if you are interested sending something to share.  We would value anything that you might offer.  

Cheers,
Leslie
