Carrollton-Farmers Branch Rotary Club and the Target store located at President George Bush Tollway and Josey Lane have joined forces for a third consecutive year to donate school supplies to the Mentoring Program at Farmers Branch Elementary School.  The total value of donations for the 2012-2013 school year reached $300, due in large part to the generosity of Target.  Great back-to-school sales, as well as wholesale shopping for the backpacks and a $25 gift card donated by Target, allowed the Club to provide so much for so little money.  Each year, Carrollton-Farmers Branch Rotary Club donates the school supplies to help the valuable Mentoring Program kick off the year prepared and ready to go.  The following donations were made this year:
  • 10 backpacks
  • 28 pais of scissors
  • 10 boxes of pencils
  • 20 plastic pencil boxes
  • 20 pencil pouches
  • 20 pink erasers
  • 100 glue sticks
  • 50 boxes of Crayola crayons
  • 20 boxes of Crayola markers
  • 20 boxes of Crayola colored pencils
  • 50 100-sheet composition books
  • 200 spiral notebooks
  • 200 folders with prongs
