Dresden School Supply Drive
Deadline March 22
Our Mothers' Club Dresden Partnership committee has started the Annual School Supplies Collection Drive. Please see the linked flyer here and help fill a great need at our neighborhood school. Since Dresden is a Title 1 school with mostly lower-income families, many students come to school with no school supplies at all. Needed items are often purchased by the teachers out of their own pockets. The generosity of our St. Pius X families makes a tremendous impact on the students and teachers at Dresden. Collection boxes are located in the Theology classes, Cafeteria and the front hallway near Campus Ministry. Our response has been unusually low so we are extending this drive through March 22.
