Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation delegates donated over $700 to purchase school supplies for students enrolled in the Saint Paul Public Schools.

The annual school supply drive is part of the Labor Community Services Action Committee‘s Jean Jones Initiative. Named after a former Saint Paul teacher and leader in the Saint Paul Federation of Educators, the initiative provides support to St. Paul public school students whose families face financial hardship.

The school supplies — pens, folders, notebooks, dictionaries, rulers, glue sticks, crayons, scissors, pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, markers and a scientific calculator — were presented to staff in the district’s Title I office during the second week of the 2019-20 school year.

Thanks to everyone who made this drive a success!
