2024 Back to school outreach: Helping local teachers at Donavan
Bill and Marge Donovan were both life-long educators and founding members of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, where many members still hold fond memories of them. This back-to-school season, we’ve chosen some local teachers, and they’ve shared their Amazon wishlists with us. Let’s clear these lists! The items on these lists will help set their classrooms up for success. Use these links to shop their wishlists. Items purchased will be sent directly to the teachers.
Don’t want to shop through Amazon? You can bring any of the following items to church to be shared with the teachers:
Boxes of tissues
Clorox or Lysol wipes
Dry erase markers
Paper towels
Washable markers
