I have a final update on our Summer School Supply Mission. The response was amazing yet again. You continue to blow me away with your giving. Together we collected $225 worth of school supplies, including 54 folders, 34 spiral notebooks, 4 pencil boxes, 19 packs of pencils, 17 packs of notebook paper, 5 sets of index cards, 25 sets of glue sticks, 4 sets of highlighters, 6 pairs of scissors, 10 rulers, 25 sets of pens, 14 sets of colored pencils, 24 bottles of glue, 61 boxes of crayons, 11 boxes of markers, and 4 kids backpacks! Thanks to each of you who participated. We had so many school supplies that we took the advice of Elizabeth Clawson with the council's approval, and gave a portion of the school supplies we collected to the custodians at our church with school age children and grandchildren. They were very appreciative. The remaining school supplies were taken to A World For Children, based out of Round Rock, for them to distribute to the foster kids they place throughout Texas. They were also very thankful.
