While its always hard to see summertime go, there are certain little things I still remember fondly when I think about that first week of school... The smoothness of a brand-new Pink Pet eraser, the unique smell of our local bookstore, getting to choose my new Trapper Keeper which, undoubtedly, had a picture of puppies on it, picking out new pens and pencils in a myriad of colors... What? Is it not normal to daydream about school supplies? Perhaps I should be talking more about seeing friends, sporting new clothes or meeting the new teachers, you say? Well, then I digress...
Unfortunately, there are a number of children in our area who might not know the joy of having a new backpack of school supplies without a little help from their neighbors. But that is where the good people of The United Way and you come in. The North Penn United Way has made it very, very easy to contribute to this great cause at any level you are able. There are so many drop off spots, you will probably pass by one within the next 24 hours without even intending to. But, if popping into a retailer is a bit inconvenient (believe me, with three kids under age 6, I get that), you can also mail in either a check or even a giftcard to any retailer that sells school supplies. How great is that?
For specific info on what is needed or a list of drop-off locations, please see the "Do Some Good" section of North Penn Under Ten. Until then, I believe I have some Post-It pads in assorted patterns to doodle on... Ahhhhh...stationery...
