CWS School Kits Project-- PLEASE HELP!

Each fall the Sunday School children assemble Church World Service (CWS) School Kits for their first Enrichment Program in October.  In order to maximize the number of kits they can assemble and donate, we are asking for donations from all church members.

Below is the list of items needed.  Please note that you should bring exactly the item requested.  For example, each kit needs to have three 70-count spiral notebooks and we cannot use three 80-count notebooks.  CWS wants to be sure that the kits are as similar as possible because kits donated from multiple groups may go to one school or area.  You are welcome to bring one item, several of one type of item, a mix of different items, or supplies for a complete kit-whatever fits your time and budget!  While we need all of the items, in particular we would appreciate spiral notebooks, pencil sharpeners and erasers.
    • One pair of blunt metal scissors (rounded tip)
    • Three 70-count spiral notebooks or notebooks totaling 200-210 pages (no loose-leaf or filler paper)
    • One 30-centimeter ruler (12")
    • One hand-held pencil sharpener
    • One large eraser
    • Six new pencils with erasers
    • One box of 24 crayons (only 24)
Look for the collection box in Fellowship Hall, beginning September 13th. If you have any questions, please contact Valerie Bowden at 774-219-1949 or by email to CWS Kits. 

Thank you for your support of this service project!
