Communities In Schools of Auburn (CISA) finished distributing a semi load of notebook paper to Auburn schools last Monday.
All 22 schools received a half-pallet of paper to ensure all students have the necessary supplies.
Communities In Schools of Auburn was aided in the distribution effort by a number of volunteers who brought their trucks and muscles to the two-day effort. The donation is the result of a partnership between Communities In Schools of Auburn and the World Vision Storehouse Program.
CISA pays a membership fee in the Storehouse Program and receives monthly distributions of essential supplies for students and families in need. Grooming aids, clothing and cleaning products are routinely included.
Supplies are targeted to the schools in the downtown core with the highest rates of poverty, but given the tremendous amount of product in this distribution, Communities In Schools of Auburn was able to assist students at every district school.
“Our extraordinary partnership with World Vision allows Communities In Schools of Auburn to serve more schools and students in need. We are very grateful to have the support of such a high caliber organization,” says Arlene Pierini, Executive Director of Communities In Schools of Auburn.
“Our students use journals extensively in their curriculum,” says Brad Sprague, Principal of West Auburn High School. “This donation ensures our students have the supplies they need to be successful.”
