CSU–Pueblo Begins Fifth Annual School Supply Drive

Pueblo- The Teacher Education Association at Colorado State University - Pueblo is beginning its fifth annual school supply drive with the goal of providing basic supplies to many Pueblo families so that their children can have a successful and enjoyable start to the school year.

Last year’s drive raised more than $500 in school supplies for area children and the Teachers Education Association hopes to double or triple that amount this year. Community support, from area businesses and individuals, is the driving force behind the success of the school drive, according to Margie Massey.

Monetary donations as well as actual school supplies will be accepted beginning August 9th through August 18th. Supplies may be dropped off between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday in Library Wing 320 or 317D or be picked up by arrangement by contacting Massey at 719-549-2257. Contributions will be distributed to area children the week of August 28 at Parkview Elementary, Irving Elementary and Risley Middle School.

The following are the most needed items for the project:


Glue Sticks
