CHARLOTTE — St. John Neumann parishioners recently collected school supplies again this year to support the students and teachers at Piney Grove Elementary School, which is among the local Charlotte schools with the greatest need.
The parish collected more than 350 notebooks, 160 folders, 280 packs of crayons and markers, along with various other items including glue, notebook paper, pencils, wipes, tissues, hand sanitizer, backpacks and more.
The parish plans to do another collection when supplies begin to run low next semester, and it supports Piney Grove throughout the year, with help to families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and oftentimes with a Lenten collection for needs identified by the school.
The school supplies drive was coordinated by Vanessa Fitzgerald. (PIctured above) Among those who helped sort the supplies for delivery were Mickey Duda and his mother Maryanne Duda.
