Help Us Supply Students In Need
It's that time of year! Our Tools 4 Seminole Schools' (T4SS) Annual Supply Drive has started! By hosting a supply drive at your business or donating through our Virtual Supply Drive, you'll be providing essential school supplies to keep students learning all year long. 50% of students in SCPS are on the free and reduced meal program, and Tools 4 Seminole Schools ensures students in need have access to free classroom supplies.
You can also provide Tools for Back to School by shopping at Publix! When you donate $5 or more at the cash register from July 20 - 31, you will provide much needed supplies to students in need AND receive a free reusable shopping bag!

To find out how you can support T4SS and the students and teachers of Seminole County Public Schools, please check out our T4SS Supply Drive Toolkit or call 407.320.7768.
Change the Life of a Student
Do you have 30 minutes to change the life of a student? This fall we're excited to welcome 27 new freshmen to the Take Stock in Children program. By mentoring one of these students just 30 minutes a week, the difference you make will last a lifetime! It can be an incredibly rewarding experience and our Take Stock staff will be there to support you along the way. No mentoring experience necessary, we will provide you with the resources and mentor toolkit to get started!

Contact Shannon Rininger to learn more about this impactful opportunity!
