Every student and classroom in the Rogue Valley should have the school supplies they need.

Connecting Point and KMVU-TV FOX 26 have joined forces to collect the supplies our local students and schools need. But we need your help! Bring new school supplies to Connecting Point, and place them in the collection box at our front counter. We’ll see that they get to where they’re needed most.

Here are some suggested supplies for both students and classrooms…

• Paper: lined paper, copy paper, construction paper, spiral notebooks, composition books, index cards
• Pencils & Pens: blue or black pens, #2 pencils, colored pencils, erasers, pencil sharpener, pencil case, colored markers, crayons, highlighters, dry-erase markers
• General Supplies: dry-erase boards, paper clips, 3-ring 2″ binders, pocket folders, report covers, backpacks
• Classroom Staples: stapler, staples, rulers, protractors, glue sticks, scissors, tape, calculator
• Things you can never have too much of:  tissues, sanitizing wipes, hand sanitizer

We’d like to be forced to empty and refill the collection box many, many times before it goes away on September 15th. Please chip in what you can. And thanks!
