Project Description: Sorting school supplies and packing backpacks for Tools for Schools.

The United Way’s Tools for School initiative is intended to help ensure that all Alberta Capital Region grade school students receive the educational supplies they need to achieve classroom success. Even in today’s high-tech world, basic supplies such as pens and paper are still essential. In some schools, the demand for these supplies is as high as 8 in 10 students, most of whom are at the elementary school level. Without the proper tools, these children can find it difficult to complete the schoolwork that will shape their own success and the educational health of their community
