School Supplies Can Keep An At Risk Child in School
At risk children can dropout out of school for many reasons - academics, truancy, drugs, problems at home, lack of clothing and food or even a lack of school supplies. Even though a lack of school supplies may seem insignificant, this need has been identified as critical by Communities In Schools-Bay Area (CIS-Bay Area).
One of the resources CIS-Bay Area offers students is furnishing school supplies. The dropout prevention program serving Clear Creek and Dickinson Independent School Districts has compiled a "wish list" of school supplies needed for at risk students.
The wish list includes: mesh backpacks, dividers, 3 and 5-subject spiral notebooks, 1 and 2-inch ring binders, folders with and without brads, college ruled paper, composition books, sketch pads, flash drives, graph paper, highlighters, compasses and erasers.
Donations of the wish list items can be made at the CIS-Bay Area office at 17225 El Camino Real (Onyx Building) in Bay Area Houston. For more information, call 281-486-6698.
