Teacher Supply Depot News
This summer, the Teacher Supply Depot will be moving to a new location at the former Lackawanna School on Lenox just north of I-10 at the McDuff exit. This move is a huge undertaking. Now more than ever, volunteers will be needed as frequently as possible throughout the summer. Do you have students who need volunteer hours? Does your PTA want to earn its first award for next year? Do you belong to a community group or business that would like to give a day of caring? Please plan on volunteering to make this move a smooth transition. We will need volunteers at both locations. We want to be ready for our Back To School giveaway during the beginning of August. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!!! Thank you for your support. For additional information, call Chris Buckley at the Depot: 381-7480, or cell: 612-5339.
