School is starting soon across the Kansas City area and we want to support teachers this year by providing classroom supplies to them.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 8, we will launch our Back to School Spirit Week to support teachers across the metro area. This campaign will run for two weeks and end on Sunday, Aug. 19
Drop off school supplies from the suggested list below at any Y Center during the two-week period. During this event, we will also be hosting a Spirit Week for both Y staff and members to spread the spirit of our youth heading back to school. This spirit week allows staff and members to dress up for each themed day and includes daily challenges!
Suggested school supplies include blank or lined paper, pencils, erasers, disinfecting cleaning wipes, AA and AAA batteries, 16 packs of crayons, staples, sticky notes, dry erase markers, markers and zip top plastic storage bags.
