We’ll be collecting backpacks and selected school supplies for children at Baldwin school all through the month of July.

Suggested items include –

  • backpacks (of course)
  • boxes of tissues
  • zip lock bags – 1 gallon & 1 quart
  • reams of copy paper
  • #2 pencils (name brand please)
  • rolls of paper towels
  • liquid hand sanitizer dispensers
  • Expo dry erase markers
  • composition books (marbled cover)
  • binder paper
  • glue sticks
  • Crayola crayons

Please keep in mind –

  • Backpacks/binders/notebooks should not be predominately red or blue (gang colors)
  • Name-brand crayons, pencils, etc. (e.g., Crayola, Ticonderoga) are preferred – better color, less breakage. Check out Staples, Target, Rite Aid, etc. for sale pricing!
  • Some items (e.g., paper towels/copy paper) are much-needed classroom supplies and not necessarily “backpack items.”

Monetary contributions are also quite welcome and will be used to fill in as needed.
