Voyager Elementary fifth grade students have launched school supply drive for Detroit Public Schools. The goal of the drive is to help ensure that students in Detroit have the supplies they need to be successful. Donations of pencils, paper, crayons and other school supplies are being accepted at Voyager Elementary until Friday, March 4. After that date, the supplies will be delivered to Detroit.
“We are very fortunate to have all the school supplies we need but in Detroit they don’t have a lot of supplies,” said Abby Swanson, Voyager Elementary fifth grade student.
“We hope that we will be able to ensure that each student in Detroit has the supplies that they need to learn,” added Alex Discher, Voyager Elementary fifth grade student.
Voyager Elementary is located at 1450 Bryon Road, Howell. The Howell Public Schools Administrative Offices are located at 411 N. Highlander Way, Howell. Donation boxes have been placed near the main entrance to both buildings.
