School is back in session and the kids seem to be back into the swing of things. This is a great time of year for our organization because there seems to be a high need for all sorts of items when the kids return to school from summer break. School supplies are at the top of the need list for the fall. Our “Tools for Schools” committee is working diligently to get requested items to the schools that seem to have the greatest needs. Shoes also also seem to be something we are commonly asked for during this time. You would be surprised how many children's shoes were worn out over the summer, but did not receive new ones to start the new school year.
Our “JA on Call” committee is partnering with every school across Saline County to see that counselors, teachers, and principals have the appropriate names and contact information to reach us, should a need arise! This is what we do. We are here to make a difference in the lives of children and their families. Call us, email us, facebook us…..no matter what the need, great or small – we’ll find a way to make it happen. The ladies of the Junior Auxiliary of Saline County have such a passion for the children of Saline County.
We won’t let you down! Until next month…..
