Estimated read time: minutes. People don't often think of rural areas when they're doing donation projects. That's why a recent, large donation was such an important gift for three small schools. Snowville Elementary, Park Valley School and Grouse Creek School said they got enough basic supplies donated to last them several years. They knew something was coming, but the size of the donation made an emotional impact. Unloading a trailer full of markers, crayons, paper towels and more, it was enough to fill the whole front section of the school.
Snowville is only between and people," Pitts said. Principal of Box Elder's western schools, Melissa Morris, said Pitts stopped by some weeks back, asking for a wish list from teachers.
They worked through the district's foundation to organize the donation but eventually showed up with much more than the district asked for. I think I've been in education for 24 years, and I've never seen a donation like this to the school. Oh my goodness! It meant a lot to feel like their work was appreciated and that someone was looking out for them. And to see that these people care enough, to just basic supplies, it is a big deal," Joylene Ritchie, a kindergarten through second grade teacher, said.
Morris is still working on distributing the supplies between the three schools. But we seek to really demonstrate God's love in practical ways with no strings attached. KSL homepage. News Utah.
