“About 165 kids -- or roughly four school busloads of children -- are seen in emergency rooms for medication-related treatment every day in the U.S.,” said Kate Carr, President and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. “Every one of those trips was preventable. We can and must do better.”

📚 Help Us Stock the FREE Wildcat School Supply Store! ✏️

Toppen*sh School District is excited to participate in this year's CSN National Night Out event! In addition to hosting several booths, we're hoping to offer a FREE pop-up school supply store to help our Wildcat families prepare for the first day of school.

Instead of a traditional backpack giveaway, students will get to shop for their own school supplies, choosing the items they like best based on their school's supply list. Our goal is to create a fun, empowering experience while helping families get ready for a successful school year.

To make this possible, we're hosting a School Supply Drive, and we need your help!
You can support our students by:
🧡 Donating new school supplies at the Toppen*sh School District Office (Attn: Public Relations)
🧡 Shopping directly from our Amazon Wish List (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/U54LUU7QIPP1?ref_=wl_share)

Every donation will go directly to Toppen*sh School District students.

Please share this post and tag friends, family members, community organizations, and local businesses that may be interested in helping us stock the store. Together, we can help every Wildcat start the school year with the supplies they need.

If you're a local business who is interested in contributing, please contact our Toppen*sh School District Director of Public Relations, Brittany Kaple, at bkaple@https://trst.in/UaqmL2 or (509) 865-4455 for more information.

We're happy to partner with Second Harvest to offer a Free Food Distribution at Toppen*sh High School for our Wildcat families and community!

Join Second Harvest for a free drive-thru food distribution on:
📅 Wednesday, July 15
🕒 3:00 - 5:00 PM
📍 Toppen*sh High School (141 Ward Rd., Toppen*sh)

No appointment, identification, or documentation is required. Food will be distributed while supplies last.

We're also excited to partner with ESD 105 to provide FREE books for children from babies through middle school age during the event! A book cart will travel through the drive-thru line, allowing children to choose a free book while supplies last. We have 300 books to give away, so be sure to arrive early!

Interested in volunteering? High school students who would like to help with the food distribution are encouraged to email bkaple@toppen*sh.wednet.edu to express their interest. Volunteer service hours will be provided.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with anyone who may benefit.
