| [picture of school supplies] |
Because education is an important part of
helping to find employment, we want to make sure that the
children of the community are equipped to succeed in school.
Churches and individuals from around the country have helped us
to fill our shelves with school supplies that we can pass on to
the children who need them. Twice a
year we give supplies to the Frakes Elementary Center (right
across the driveway from the Settlement) so that the teachers
can distribute them to their students. During the rest of
the year, however, teachers from other schools in Bell County
often come to us to get what they need for students in their
areas, and parents stop by to pick up supplies when the need
arises. |
