Fund Raiser to Help Paradise Students Impacted by the Camp Fire
Many of these students lost all of their personal belongings, including clothes, backpacks and school supplies, to the fire. These students are now faced with attending schools in different districts, and the schools welcoming them are faced with school supply shortages.
Santa Cruz County families and schools are joining forces to help these students by donating and collecting backpacks, paper, pens, binders and other school supplies.
A number of local schools are collecting donations. These schools are also donating school supplies. Schools include:
- Salesian Elementary and Junior High
- Good Shepherd
- Monte Vista Christian
- St. Francis
- Rio Del Mar
- Aptos Junior High School
- Vine Hill Elementary
Supplies can also be dropped at Deluxe Foods in Aptos and Expressive Learning in Scotts Valley.
