STAPLES and CISWC Team Up Over Tax Free Weekend

08/07/2006

All 7 Wake County STAPLES stores teamed up to collect school supplies for CISWC students. The weekend was a huge success for CISWC, and we are still counting (and sorting!) the pencils, protractors, notebooks, and other assorted school supplies that will help CISWC's students have the tools they need to succeed in school.

CISWC would like to thank STAPLES for providing us the opportunity to collect school supplies at their stores over the tax free weekend. We would also like to thank our community for their incredible show of support for CISWC's students. The outpouring of support and school supplies from community members reminds us that the "Community" in "Communities In Schools of Wake County" is what makes our organization, and therefore our students, so successful!
