Back to School Supplies Drive through Century 21 Wampler Realty

School will be in session this Fall no matter the fashion it is opened. Always there are children not able to get their school supplies. Todd Wampler of Century 21 Wampler Realty and Nellie Ward of Toys 4 Bot-E-Tots have joined forces to get the basic school supplies to the Botetourt area schools. Wampler said, ” Nothing makes us happier than to help the children of Botetourt County, so please donate some school supplies

Just bring the supplies to the Lobby area of Century 21 up on the hill behind Bellacinos at 64 Wendover Rd in Daleville

Ward always wants to help the children of Botetourt, she said to remind people also, ” Right now stores have put school supplies on sale so just $5 in supplies can make a real difference for a child.” Later this summer and Fall the Toys 4 Bot-E-Tots Campaign will kick up several notches and Century 21 will also be a collection site for the toy campaign

What to buy for the school supplies:

Suggestions include mechanical pencils, scissors designed for school use, boxes of Kleenex, Gallon Ziploc bags, Quart size Ziploc bags, glue sticks, individual wide ruled spiral notebooks, colored pencils, packs of wide ruled notebook paper, crayons, erasers, highlighter pens.

The last day for collection is Aug. 5. The supplies will be taken to the schools for distribution.
