KidSmart 2011-12 Mid-Year Update!
2011-2012 MID-YEAR UPDATE
Happy New Year! KidSmart is already underway with another exciting and successful semester with St. Louis area schools, but we wanted to take a moment and look back at how we did between August and December.
As of the end of December 2011, KidSmart currently has 108 schools shopping at the store! We are proud to say that the teachers did a lot of shopping from August through December, and were able to bring some great school supplies back to their students. By the end of first semester, Imagine Academy of Environmental Science & Math received $45,979 worth of school supplies from our store! They were followed by Gateway High School, which received $44,696 worth of supplies, and Hazelwood East Middle, with $40,617 worth of supplies.
During this past semester, KidSmart also held backpack drops at three of the schools we serve. We went into the schools and passed out backpacks filled with essential school supplies to each student. Emerson, one of our corporate partners, sponsored the backpack drops at Bermuda and Cool Valley Elementary Schools, while Enterprise, another corporate partner, sponsored the drop at Woodward Elementary School. KidSmart is extremely grateful all of the continual support we receive from Emerson and Enterprise.
KidSmart is looking forward to another fantastic semester! Check back on our website (www.kidsmartstl.org), “Like” us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/KidSmartSTL) and follow us on Twitter @KidSmart (www.twitter.com/KidSmart) for updates, news and all things KidSmart!
