School Supply Donations:

A group of Notre Dame Regional Secondary students are organizing a school supply donation initiative to support children who may not have access to the materials they need to learn and grow.

Like many students, we received a school supply package each year and brought those items home at the end of the school year. Over time, this led to a buildup of school supplies, such as crayons, pencils, sharpeners, and scissors, that are still in good condition but no longer needed. 

Supplies will be collected till the end of the school year. Please bring them to your classroom teacher.
