Middle
School students
collect supplies for classmates
At the end of every
school year, the students at the C. J. Hooker Middle
School clean out their lockers and get rid of
unwanted paper, notebooks and other supplies before
heading into summer vacation – much to the dismay of
several faculty and staff members.
“Last June, I watched as students threw out
notebooks, binders and even some brand new supplies
that were never used,” said Beth Miller, social
worker. “It was such a shame, especially since there
are so many students who need help buying school
supplies.”
