🎒📚 Help us give local students a great start to the school year!

Krannert Park is collecting new and unused school supplies from July 1–27 to help families in our community prepare for the back-to-school season. Donations will be available for community members who need them, and any remaining supplies will be donated to Wayne Township Preschool.

If you're able to pick up an extra pack of crayons, notebooks, pencils, or other school essentials, every donation makes a difference. ❤️

Drop off donations at the Krannert Park front desk during business hours and help support local students as they head back to the classroom. ✏️🍎
