Items Needed for
LWR and Brecknock Elementary School Kits

Imagine having to choose between a meal or purchasing a notebook.

LWR School Kits are sent to places where even the few required school supplies may be more than a family can afford. Pencils and paper can help write a positive future even for local scholars.

Four '70-sheet' notebooks of wide or college-ruled paper, approximately 8”x 10.5“; no loose-leaf paper
One 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
Five black or blue ballpoint pens, secured together by a rubber band – no gel ink
Five un-sharpened #2 pencils with erasers, secured together by a rubber band
One blunt safety scissors with embedded steel blades
One box of 16 or 24 crayons
One pencil sharpener
One 2½” eraser

New items only that do not have any religious symbols or messages, US flags, patriotic or military symbols or references to armed forces, including camouflage.

Mark donations to this project as either LWR or Brecknock Elementary.

Please contact Sandy Sampson if you have questions.
