Remember the thrill of a new box of crayons - points on all of them and no colors missing? Or the sense of promise that only a new pencil box full of sabre-sharp pencils could offer?

We will be collecting school supplies of every kind, K - 12, at our next FFT meeting. Pens, pencils, tape, glue sticks, paper, composition books, crayons, markers and anything else you can think a child might need will be appreciated. I will be delivering everything on 8/29 and thank you on their behalf.
