Crayons to Classrooms, Living Word Church and Mosaic Church are to thank for supplying these DPS students with everything they need for the 2019-2020 school year. 

“The Kiser area was hit hard in the Memorial Day tornadoes,” said Donna McCoy, Neighborhood Site Coordinator for Kiser. “Crayons to Classrooms reached out because they knew a lot of Kiser families were impacted and they wanted to help.”

Crayons to Classrooms donated the items in partnership with Living Word Church and Mosaic Church. The churches also held donation drives and purchased supplies. 

Church volunteers were on-site Wednesday to help distribute bags. Several volunteers commented on how happy the students looked as they went back to class wearing a smile – and a new backpack!

“This is a great opportunity to show how strong the Dayton community is after the adversity we have gone through this year,” said Kiser Principal Alex Robertson. “This donation will really help take the stress off of many of our Kiser families.”
