\"School<\/a><\/p>\n

We’re all about the fun extras at catching fireflies, however we’re also aware that there are many families who don’t have the luxury of filling up a shopping cart of needed school supplies.<\/p>\n

So we’re collecting new school goods during the month of August, then turning them over to the Judson Center<\/a> for distribution.<\/p>\n

What is needed: backpacks, pencils, pens<\/span>, markers, highlighters, kid scissors, notebooks, folders, binders, rulers, thumb drives, index cards, tissues, <\/span>hand sanitizer, planners, pencil boxes\/pouches, Texas Instrument calculators (TI-108, TI-83, TI-30X)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll be collecting these goods at our Berkley & Rochester locations<\/a> & as a thank you for your generosity, we’re giving out a gourmet scented pencil<\/a> for every 5 supplies donated (maximum 4 pencils per family)<\/p>\n

Thank you for helping us equip kids for back-to-school!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
