The Webster School Department made a great list of the most needed items for us last year...- Pens
- Pencils
- Notebooks
- Erasers
- Rulers
- Crayons
- Calculators
- Backpacks
So we started off with 28 Backpacks* and a bunch of items from our list (more will arrive soon). We gladly accept any and all donations as well as good ideas.
Last year, one of our lovely customers brought pocket packs of facial tissues. What a great idea! So we have added those onto our list of items. Also - Art Supplies!!! We love being able to add in a few items to help our kids express their creative sides. Glue Sticks help with all those projects that are assigned (just remember to look for non-acid and non-toxic labels).
We'll be collecting until Aug. 27th in order to have everything packed up and ready for the 1st day of school on August 29th.
Please contact Sara (sbrunell@longauto.com) with any questions or suggestions.
* Why 28 Backpacks? Well, our Service Manager Dave's project started with 25 (nice 'round' number). Except that we found 26 was a better number since we can split it evenly between boys and girls. This year we came across a great selection and by the time we finished shopping and got back to the dealership we found that we had 28 - and since they were perfectly split 14 Boys and 14 Girls, we're keeping them!
