Back To School With the Right Supplies
August 9, 2012 | Barna, Guzy & Steffen, Ltd.Barna, Guzy & Steffen Family Law attorney Beverly Dodge coordinated an annual Back to School supply event this August. This year, the firm will donate supplies to Hamilton Elementary in Coon Rapids. “Donating school supplies is a way each of us can help give back directly within our community, ” said Bev, “The kids receiving these supplies might not otherwise have some of the basic necessities for back to school, let alone “extras” that our own children take for granted. This contrast creates problems for their success in school.” Items being donated by staff and attorneys included all the basics such as crayons and markers, folders, notebooks, backpacks and more. The firm also made a monetary donation with which Bev purchased even more supplies. The firm plans to bring the donations to Hamilton Elementary the week before school begins. If you would like to contribute, please contact us at info@bgs.com.
