We LOVE our Blue Springs Teachers!
We are gathering supplies, spiffing up the Education Center, and getting ready to host the teachers from Blue Springs Elementary for a day of “Teacher Love” on Thursday July 7th. These teachers have been through so much this year, we want to wrap them in love and help them start out the 2011-2012 school year right!
You can be a part of the love in several ways:
- Donate! We still need teacher/classroom supplies. Suggestions from the Bradley County Elementary Supervisor are: staplers/staples, sticky notes, highlighters, scissors, dry erase markers/erasers, staple removers, tape dispensers, tape refills, White-Out, file folders, hanging file folders, file labels – anything you might need at your desk.
- Volunteer! Call Education Curator Jennifer White 339-5745 ext 18 and leave a message if you’re free to help. We will need help setting up the day before, and help during the event. Even if it’s only an hour, your welcoming smile will be appreciated.
- Bake! We’d love to have some homemade goodies the day of the event, if you are able to drop off goodies that morning call Jennifer and let her know.
We are thrilled to be a community collection point for school supplies, and are continuing to collect for children in need. The county schools have indicated that despite the two busloads of supplies donated earlier this month, there is still great need which will be even greater as these students go back to school in the fall. Donations of new backpacks, paper, pencils (wooden and mechanical), scissors, crayons, colored pencils, washable markers, glue sticks, pencil boxes/bags are still being taken during museum hours throughout the summer. Remember the kids when you do your own back to school shopping, and help us start them out right too!
