Back to school is an exciting time, but not all students have an opportunity to start off the school year with the supplies they need, giving them the tools to reach their full potential. As equity is a priority for Red Deer Public Schools, we are extremely grateful for The Outreach Centre and the United Way of Central Alberta's Tools for School Program, which collects school supplies for children in Kindergarten to Grade 12 who otherwise could not afford them. Consider donating supplies today! For more information, visit https://buff.ly/2VVoIrZ.
