Central Alabama Pride, Inc. is hosting their annual School Supply Drive-- at Staples on 280! Bring your school supplies, or buy them inside (Staples is a big sponsor of this event, this is a great way to support them while supporting this great event!)
If you know a teacher who is LGBTQ or an Ally in Central Alabama who needs our help, nominate them by emailing your submissions to stuffthebus@centralalabamapride.org Give us school name, what they teach, and how to get in touch with them, should they be one of the chosen teachers. We will select multiple teachers, with the number to be based on the amount of school supplies we receive. The teachers will be contacted privately, and their information/name will not be shared publicly, as to protect their careers.
Things we need--- ANYTHING that a kid would need (from kindergarten to 12th grade) for school-- pens, pencils, binders, spiral bound notebooks, composition notebooks, loose leaf paper, crayons, scissors, glue, poster boards, dry erase markers, Kleenex, hand sanitizer, hand soap, ziploc bags, markers, etc...
Want to give a bigger item? An item all teachers need? Cases of copy paper. Last year, that was an item that all the teachers were happy to see. iTunes cards, scientific calculators, etc...
Is your office getting rid of gently used 3 ring binders? Take out the literature and donate those!! They can be re-purposed and used for the school. I've even had businesses donate boxes of pens with their info on it that was out of date or incorrect.
So during Tax Free Weekend, on Sunday, from 1-6pm, come bring some school supplies, buy some from Staples, or even give a little cash if you want (we'll purchase school supplies with all money raised that day), and let's help out our LGBTQ / Ally teachers!
