Local businesses of any size, educational institutions, chambers of commerce, municipalities and civic organizations are encouraged to collect much-needed supplies. These include lined paper, folders, pens, pencils, highlighters, glue sticks, safety scissors, rulers, flat pink erasers and other school-appropriate items.
"When students lack basic school supplies and tools to succeed, their self-esteem is inevitably lowered and an uneven learning environment is created in classrooms," said Shea Ciriago, executive director of the Broward Education Foundation. "Teachers in Broward County Public Schools know best what their students need to succeed and can shop for free for their students in need at Broward Education Foundation's school supply center thanks to the community that rallies to support Broward's official Back to School Supply Drive."
