Did you know? Many students in our local community lack the essential school supplies needed to start off the school year. Studies show that poverty has a particularly adverse effect on the academic outcomes of children, especially during early childhood. Chronic stress associated with living in poverty has been shown adversely to affect children’s concentration and memory, which may impact their ability to learn and succeed in their academic journey.
With YOUR support, Arrowhead United Way can help prepare students to be successful in school by providing them the supplies they need when they return to school in the Fall.
With a contribution of $76 one student will receive a kit of essential school supplies, which will include the following items:
No.2 Pencils, Pens, Markers, Colored Pencils, Crayons, Highlighters, Pencil Sharpeners, Erasers, 3-Ring Binders, Wide-ruled paper, Spiral Notebooks, Dividers, Pocket Folders, Rulers, Children's Scissors, Glue Sticks, Index Cards
Whether you decide to donate $5, $20, or $35, COLLECTIVELY we can make an impact in the lives of local students!
