Samantha Williams and Michael Kalfopoulos

Two UCAN volunteers, Samantha Williams and Michael Kalfopoulos, spearheaded a campus-wide initiative that yielded a tremendous amount of school supplies (binders, graphing calculators, notebooks, crayons, pens, pencils, folders) for the income-eligible students in the districts. Samantha Williams and Michael Kalfopoulos were responsible for promoting and collecting supplies in the Give Thanks Give Back campaign. These supplies were placed in backpacks and distributed to all schools. Principals can present these items to new students upon registration in the districts or replace supplies for students who may need them. A letter of thanks was sent to Michael and Samantha and the Amherst Bulletin Ed/Op section. The school supply drive was mentioned in the Superintendent’s Update for the Amherst Regional Public Schools. Click here to view the 2012 Give Thanks Give Back flyer!
