COMMUNITY CARE DRIVE:
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Colonial Elementary, a nearby Title 1 school, is improving educational opportunities to children pre-k through 5th grade in disadvantaged families.
One of the goals of Colonial Elementary is to increase proficiency for all of their enrolled students, many of whom receive additional literacy help weekly. New Hope supports the Colonial community through regular support to staff and teachers, donations of school supplies for families, and sponsorship of various school events throughout the year.
GIVE:
Join us the whole month of July as we kick off a school supply drive for Colonial Elementary and Dunbar High School! Grab a bag in the Lobby on Sunday, fill it with the mentioned items, and return by July 26! Among the most requested items are: pencils, dry erase markers, crayons, markers, highlighters, scissors, erasers, index cards, pencil boxes, pencil sharpeners, and paper (wide ruled).
PRAY:
Pray for the leadership and staff all year long to have clear direction and unity.
Pray that God would be moving in the hearts of Colonial children and their families.
Pray for our New Hope team of reading mentors, that their dedication to the students would reflect God’s love for them.
GO:
August 5 is Colonial’s Open House date. You can volunteer to assist families as they navigate important information for the school year. For more details or to sign up, email rachel@newhopefortmyers.org.
