Love for Teachers Outreach
Collecting July 10- August 10, 2022
Our teachers have been strong warriors in trying to help students learn despite all the obtacles in their path since the onset of COVID. We love ALL our teachers in all the area districts and know they have all struggled, however God has specifically put the teachers at Kalamazoo Public Schools on our hearts to bless this year.
Our goal is to send a box of classroom supplies and encouraging notes to each of the grades in the 24 different schools in KPS district.
WE KNOW THAT IS A BIG GOAL… BUT WE HAVE A BIG GOD!!!
We began collecting supplies and handwritten notes during Catalyst week this year, and decided we will continue collecting through the second week of August. Donations will be delivered to the schools in mid-August.
