Throughout the month of July, we will have donation bins in the lobby for our annual School Supply Drive. We are doing it earlier in the summer, as we are not only assisting the Beaverton School District, but the district and Sunset Church are partnering alongside the nonprofit Wake Up Beaverton this year.

We are being asked to collect the six most needed school supply items:

• Spiral notebooks (college ruled)
• Composition books (college ruled)
• Black/blue ink pens
• Glue sticks (purple preferred)
• Colored markers (fine point & thin)
• #2 Ticonderoga pencils
•  

After we collect supplies, Wake Up Beaverton then serves in the role of a clearinghouse on behalf of the school district. They handle the logistics of gathering, sorting, and storing items at select area schools. Once supplies are stored, the school district steps in and oversees the distribution of supplies to students and teachers.

If you are interested in volunteering to help sort supplies with Wake Up Beaverton in August at one of the schools in the area, please contact Sheri Schlief or Maddie Brown.

THANKS in advance for your participation in this year’s drive. We look forward to filling those bins!
