Chinook Elementary School Supply Drive

September 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Help Kids and Teachers Start the Year Right.

pencilsAhh, the first day of school; fresh faces, new pencils and erasers, crisp, clean notebooks and a nice backpack to carry all those supplies in.  Unfortunately, that is not the situation for many kids returning to school this year.  Budgets have been cut in both homes and schools and many children will lack the basic tools necessary for successful learning without our help.

CrossWay Church in Salmon Creek wants to remedy this situation.  They are having a school supply drive, going on now, with the goal of providing 25-30 backpacks and required school supplies to Chinook Elementary by September 4; enough time for the staff to distribute them to needy families before the first day of school (which is September 9 for the Vancouver School District).

Please contact Pastor Brad for more information or to schedule drop off or pick up of school supply donations.  He can be reached by phone (360) 828-1633 or email brad@crosswaychurchwa.com.

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

- Whitney Houston, “Greatest Love of All”
