Our 2024 Tools for School Event
was a Great Success!
On Tuesday, July 31, 3,431 students were impacted through this annual event! |
|
Students entering Kindergarten through 12th grade from Warsaw, Tippy Valley, Wawasee, Whitco, Lakeland Christian Academy, Sacred Heart, and Homeschool came with their families to Tools for School 2024 to get school supplies. The program was designed to ease the burden that families feel when sending their children back to school in the fall. Tools for School helps students to have what they need for a successful school experience and the event saves schools a great deal of money on buying supplies since students arrive with the requested items. |
|
The event featured community resource tables, free haircuts, the Good News Caboose, free Bibles, and more! This event helps kids feel prepared and confident for the school year! |
