With a new school year on the horizon, St. Michael Lutheran Church in Wellington will again assist local community schools with a school uniform and supply drive. These desperately needed uniforms and supplies can be dropped off at St. Michael daily from now through Aug. 10.
The uniform drive will support Greenacres Elementary School. The majority of students there qualify for the Free or Reduced Lunch Program — a strong indicator of the number of families that can use some help. School officials note that a large number of students in third through fifth grade (sizes M – XXL boys/girls) could benefit from their assistance. The uniform code is as follows: polo style shirt in white or dark green; long pants (boys/girls), shorts (boys/girls), skorts (girls), jumpers (girls) in khaki or navy blue.
The school supply drive is for the Sellew Excel Charter School in Belle Glade as they prepare to open for year two. Support is even more important this year, as the school will double in size. Needed school supplies include construction paper, glue, crayons, pencils, rulers and more. New and gently used backpacks are also needed.
St. Michael Lutheran Church is located at the corner of Birkdale Drive and Forest Hill Blvd. Learn more at www.stmichaelelca.org or call (561) 793-4999.
