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
