Presbyterian Women in July

Dysart School District: School Supplies Needed

We will be asking for school supplies during July for delivery to the Dysart School District late in the month. Our Coordinating Team members will set up and maintain a long table in Swain Hall for these items to be accumulated and displayed.

Here are the suggested items:

• Crayons Pencils (#2) 
• Ballpoint Pens (black or blue) 
• Glue/Glue Sticks 
• Kids’ Scissors 
• Rulers 
• Notebook Paper 
• 3-ring Notebooks 
• Spiral Notebooks 
• 2-pocket Folders 
• Pocket Calculators 
• Lunch Boxes 
• Backpacks

Dollar- and 99-cent stores always have a good selection of many of these items! Monetary donations are also welcome. You may bring or mail a check to the church office, payable to First Presbyterian Church, specifying that it is for school supplies. Someone will do the shopping for you!
