The initiative was spearheaded by the Community Service Director, Mr Selvyn Dawson.

The aim of the drive is to provide less fortunate students in our community with a better opportunity to strive academically.

Proceeds of the School Supply Drive will aid families that were recommended by the Family Support Network.

Donation Boxes will be at the above-mentioned locations until August 31, 2015.

We would like to thank the community for all the support received thus far and for their continued support. Attempts will be made to conduct this project annually.
