CENTRAL SQUARE – The annual Stuff-A-Bus program was held in conjunction with the Central Square Teachers’ Association and the United Way of Greater Oswego County. This year’s event was a big success, providing school supplies to over 124 Central Square School District students.
On August 18, school supplies could be purchased and donated at the Wal-Mart in Central Square.
Staff and community members collected notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, highlighters, folders, binders, backpacks, crayons and markers, among other supplies for distribution.
These supplies were then “stuffed” in boxes on the school bus for delivery.
The Central Square Wal-Mart allowed the teachers to set-up outside and encouraged purchases in the store while customers shopped.
The Fulton Savings Bank in Central Square also assisted by collecting additional supplies at the bank.
On August 22, the supplies were available for parents and students at the District Office in Paul V. Moore High School.
The district was honored to help local families in need of the supplies.
The big smiles from students when they received a new backpack, notebook or other much needed items was inspiring.
The Stuff-A-Bus program will take place again next summer.
