do you know which schools will get the stuff?
Why does it matter which schools get the stuff? There are likely kids in need of supplies at all schools, especially in economic times like these!
I was just asking Adam. I know that some schools need these items more than others.
ps. – it would be great if the schools in the neighborhoods where the busses are being stuffed would get the items.
Having a spouse and many good friends who are teachers, I know full well the state of kids’ lives.
Office Max and Walgreens already sell back to school stuff. Why feed, why subsidize, their shabby and cynical PR machine? Better to hold a nostril shut and donate to the Realtors?
Rita: The supplies are being collected for TUSD, according to the Tucson Association of Realtors Web site.
thanks!
You’re very welcome. And I apologize if I came off as a bit short in my first response.
no problem.
