Purposity
We’re excited to welcome everyone back for the school year! We’re working hard to ensure all of our students have the resources they need to get the year off to a good start. One of the ways we are doing this is with Purposity. Purposity allows us to share essential student needs with members of our community who are willing to help, and they can meet these needs through a few clicks on their phone. It could be for a child needing a new pair of shoes or bedding on which to sleep at night. It’s the easiest way to help during back-to-school and year-round. Join us by visiting www.purposity.com/@SpotsylvaniaCountyPublicSchools clicking follow, and meeting a need today!
