The backpack you buy today may be worn by the next great Wolf athlete of tomorrow.
Soroptimist International of Coupeville is launching a month-long campaign to collect school supplies and funds to aid local students whose families can’t afford to purchase things such as notebooks, pens and, yes, backpacks.
The school district currently has approximately 80 students in need of assistance.
The Soroptimists are seeking composition books, spiral notebooks (college ruled), scientific calculators, red pens, green pens, pencil sharpeners and highlighters, among other things.
Donations of supplies and/or money can be delivered through Aug. 18 to Shelli Trumbull at Cascade Insurance Agency (404 S. Main, next door to Prairie Center Grocery).
