Nativity of Mary is excited to participate in another year of the VEAP school supply drive! This initiative aims to empower students in need by providing them with essential tools for academic success. We invite the entire parish community to participate in this worthy cause, making a tangible difference in the lives of young learners.
From July 15th to July 31st, collection bins will be placed near the entrances of Nativity of Mary for your donations. We kindly ask for your generosity in contributing school supplies, with a particular focus on the following items:
- Bluetooth Headphones: In today's technology-driven classrooms, Bluetooth headphones have become increasingly essential for students to effectively engage with digital learning materials.
- Backpacks: A sturdy and reliable backpack is an essential item for students of all ages. Donating backpacks will provide students with a means to carry their books, notebooks, and supplies, ensuring they are well-prepared for each school day.
- Scientific Calculators: As students advance in their studies, scientific calculators become indispensable tools for subjects such as mathematics, science, and engineering. By donating scientific calculators, you can help alleviate the financial burden on families and enable students to excel in these challenging disciplines.
In addition to the specific items mentioned above, traditional school supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers, and folders are also greatly appreciated. Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful impact on a student's educational journey.
By participating in this school supply drive, you are supporting the educational aspirations and dreams of young minds in our community. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of students who deserve the opportunity to thrive academically, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances.
Let us respond to the call of Pope Francis, who reminds us of the importance of education, stating, "Education is an act of love; it is like giving life." Through your generosity, you are giving the gift of education and empowering students to reach their fullest potential.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude in advance for your contributions to this school supply drive. Your support and compassion will touch the lives of many students, providing them with the tools they need to succeed academically and fostering a brighter future.
