School Supply Project Expansion


The Satanta United Methodist Church’s 21st Time class is proud to announce an expansion of its school-supply project for 2013-2014. For the next school year, every student in Satanta Elementary School will receive complimentary supplies courtesy of the Satanta United Methodist Church and a number of sponsoring organizing who have signed on to make this possible. These organizations include the Satanta Lions Club; the Satanta Parent-Teacher Organization (FOKS); Centera Bank, Satanta, and its employees; the Satanta High School Kayettes, and the Satanta High School FCCLA organization. Please take the time to thank these organizations for the work they do in our community. 

This project represents an expansion of an original project initiated by the Satanta United Methodist Church in 2012 when the church’s 21st Time class launched school-supply project for USD 507 students in grades PK-6 aimed at providing low- or no-cost school supply kits for students attending Satanta Elementary. Virtually every student at the elementary participated in this project, and the feedback from parents and teachers was so positive that the 21st Time decided to expand this project to cover all students.

The 21st Time will begin fundraising to generate the remaining funds needed to cover the cost of these supplies, which average $15 per student, beginning with a June 8, 2013, garage sale at the Satanta Community Building. Please consider setting items aside for this sale in support of this project. Pick-up of items the week prior to the sale will again be available this year. Contact Ryan Burrows for information on the upcoming garage sale and/or the newly expanded school-supply campaign.
