School Supplies Kit


The women of the church collect supplies each August and September for school kits for Lutheran World Relief. These school supplies make it possible for children to attend classes. many of the supplies are for children living in refugee camps and some may be used for adult literacy classes.

The following are needed:

  • Padded or spiral notebooks of ruled paper approximately 8" X 10-1/2" totaling 150-200 sheets (if using 70- count notebooks, please include three); do not include loose-leaf paper
  • One blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)
  • One 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
  • One pencil sharpener
  • Six new, unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
  • One eraser approximately 2-1/2" long
  • 12 sheets of construction paper in assorted colors (if necessary, fold in half to fit into the school kit bag)
  • One box of 16 or 24 crayons
  • One sturdy cloth bag approximately 12" X 14" with cloth handles or drawstring closure

In 2007, we have many, many crayons and pencils - so we probably don't need those this year.

Feel free to provide any or all of the supplies and place these items in the large plastic containers located by the Luther Place entrance or in the narthex.

Anyone interested in material or information about making the school bags should contact Sigrid Rothman at (651) 644-6741. She has plenty of material available for you to use!

Thank you for your support.
