Teacher's Aid Boxes

This project provides supplies to selected schools in the AGB #15 area.  In keeping with the Pioneers' literacy objectives, it has been determined that in addition to providing students with books, maps, and occasional readers, it is important that we begin providing aid in the form of selected supplies to classroom teachers.  This aid will enhance their ability to teach and maintain daily class control by having needed provisions on hand that may not be readily available through the normal school supplies ordering process.
