Back-to-School Wish List

Remember the thrill of going back to school? The excitement of new back packs, crayons, a full set of pencils? This academic mess-kit was the sign of a new year, a new start. These simple supplies were literally the tools for a successful academic year. You or your group can help prepare a child to start the school year ready to learn. Here are some items that the children need to start back to school. You can take or send them to the children’s home nearest you, or send them to the St. Louis office.
