The Thorndale 4-H will host a school supply drive to help out TISD teachers through Aug. 31. Collection boxes are at the Thorndale Meat Market and Dollar General.
Supplies needed are facial tissue, crayons, pencils, pens, glue or glue sticks and erasers. All supplies will be donated to Thorndale Elementary School teachers for use in classrooms.
This service project helps take the burden off the teachers from buying supplies for students and their classrooms.
