On Friday, September 8th, Communities in Schools of Washington (ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ) partnered with the Washington State Fair to collect school supplies for students in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ network. This is the second year fair participants were invited to provide a donation of new school supplies at the gold or red gate and receive free admission into the fair from 10:30am – 12:30pm immediately following the rodeo parade.  Over 60 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ volunteers helped collect school supplies and raise awareness for Communities In Schools programs.

This year, thanks to generous community donors, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ successfully collected over 30,000 school supply items with an estimated value of $30,500.  The proceeds were divided among Communities In Schools affiliates in Washington State and will provide support for students in over 18 different school districts.

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ would like to provide a special thanks to the Washington State Fair and Peninsula Truck Lines, Inc. for their support.
