Why Does a Barnyard Need School Supplies?

August 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment

For Wolfpups, of Course!

Ahh, 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 (and others if we get more supplies) by September 4; enough time for the staff to distribute them to needy families before the first day of school (which is September 8 for the Vancouver School District).

You can drop off school supply donations at donation boxes at the Salmon Creek Farmer’s Market entrance and Barnyard: Family Fun Zone or at CrossWay’s Church office (1308 NE 134th St Suite G).  If you come to the office, please use the door at the back of the building.  Please contact Pastor Brad for more information. 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”
