Low-income students in the Lake Washington School District, which includes schools in Sammamoish, will again have the opportunity to receive much needed school supplies this coming school year.
Hopelink, an organization that supports youth in the North and East King County, will host its annual “Kids Need School Supplies” drive this summer. Through Aug. 10, Hopelink, in partnership with other local organizations, will collect school supplies for children living in low-income families.
Items needed for students this year include large and small backpacks (no logos); three-hole punched and lined filler paper; College-ruled paper; printer paper; graph paper (in spiral notebooks); spiral notebooks; folders; three-by-five cards; colored pencils and red correcting pencils; markers; fine-tipped Sharpies; protractors; glue and glue sticks; USB drives; scissors and rulers.
Students who wish to receive supplies must register online by July 31 at www.hope-link.org.
Donations can be made in person at any Hopelink center. For information on monetary donations or other general information, contact Ashley Stokes: 425-897-3710.
