Stanfield benefits first from Tools For Schools

By Dexter Hinson, Staff Writer

Thursday, August 7, 2008 The time for school to begin is just around the corner and the school board is making sure students are equipped for another academic year.

Stanly County Schools kicked off its Tools For Schools campaign on Tuesday morning in the Kelley Auditorium on the campus of Stanly Community College.

Kim Scott, director of Student Services, presided and introduced the initiative to the waiting audience.

The Tools for Schools program, expected to reach countywide, is based on a quadrant diagram established by Scott.

In each quadrant, churches, community buildings and schools will serve as locations to provide the tools needed for the successes of students.

A vast array of school supplies and possibly meetings and workshops will be available at designated places within each quadrant, thanks to the help of many local businesses and other resources, including all Stanly County Food Lion locations.

Stanfield School will serve as the first school to be “adopted” through the program. An unnamed company adopted the school when numerous requests came in from the Hispanic population in the area.

In addition to pencils, paper, glue and many other supplies, Pfeiffer University is slated to supply bilingual students to help bridge the language barrier during meetings and other affairs.

Kim Page, principal at Stanfield, was awarded supplies for her school and graciously received them on its behalf.

As the year begins, other schools and communities will benefit from this initiative. A parent and student workshop is scheduled for Aug. 16 at Saints Delight Church, 520 Wall St., Albemarle.

More information is available by contacting the school board at (704) 983-5151.
