Selkirk Supply Drive
The supply drive is a fundraiser to collect supplies to have a place where teachers can access materials for their students and classrooms without having to go to the store. We also want to be able to provide supplies for students who can’t afford them. We can only accept supplies, no gift cards or cash. Currently, we have received three boxes of crayons but we hope to expand our portfolio and provide most everyone with what they need. If you want to donate you can hand supplies into the office which will reach Mrs. Sutton or you can hand it directly to Nick Goode, Mrs. Sutton, or your child’s first period teacher. Here is the link to the Amazon wish list, whatever you buy will be sent directly to the school and supply drive. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/GNGO8XDIWB99/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist
