Thank you Kitty for spearheading this project! The Village Parrotheads have a similar effort underway called Project Backpack and will be collecting items at the Phlockings for both Wildwood and Fruitland Park Elementary Schools thru August.
There are also many volunteer opportunities to reach out to these schools and help in the classrooms throughtout the school year. The Daily Sun recently had an article about the Tudors for Kids organization seeking more volunteer Tudors for the upcoming year. My wife became involved with them last spring and really enjoyed working with Ms. Miller's 4th grade kids at Fruitland Park. Here is the contact info for anyone interested:
