Thanks to all who made this a successful project! $600 was raised for supplies, The Airmont Girls Scout troops donated the backpack, and 30 children at Conner were blessed their first day of school.
 

Back-to-School Supplies for Connor Kids’ Backpacks

 

SPC’s Community Outreach Ministry Team has identified 25-30 students at Connor Elementary School whose families won’t be able to provide them with backpacks and needed school supplies this fall.  In addition to the pocket change offering we’re receiving each Sunday to purchase the backpacks, the following is a list of school supplies church members might purchase now during the b-t-s sales and bring in to fill the backpacks.  The school also needs extra supplies to help students who are unable to afford to completely fill their required supply list.

Donated supplies can be left in the wicker hamper at the rear of the sanctuary.
