School supplies still needed


St. George, UT, August 9, 2010 — School supplies continue to be collected at The University of Phoenix St. George Campus for students in need within the Washington County School District. School supplies that are in great need include paper, note pads, pencils, erasers, rulers, glue sticks, crayons, color markers, binders, and backpacks.
Bob Green, WCSD Child Services Coordinator, said that the school district has identified over 500 homeless families within the district. “We need to be able to access their needs and obtain supplies for as many students as we can,” stated Green.

According to Brendan Dalley, Community Education Liaison for University of Phoenix St. George Campus, “School starts this week and many students will not be prepared without our help.  This community has a track record of helping those in need.  We ask that the community continue this trend by stepping up and offering school supplies and cash donations to the WCSD Foundation.”

If you would like to help, please contact Brendan Dalley at 435-275-5620 or bring school supplies by the University of Phoenix St. George Campus located at 965 East 700 South, 3rd floor.
