Shoutout to J Tea Tega Cay in the Crossroads Plaza shopping center for again donating big to Classroom Ready! For their second anniversary serving bubble teas and delicious banh mi, they donated a record number of pencil sharpeners to help students be Classroom Ready.

Shoutout to Melissa Wood, a long time Fort Mill resident and veteran, who supports Classroom Ready every year in a big way!

Another shoutout to St. Paul's Episcopal Church for their continued support of Classroom Ready. They are a smaller congregation making a huge impact in the lives of Fort Mill students. St. Paul’s collects tape throughout the year and each summer goes above and beyond providing additional supplies Classroom Ready may be low on - this year, dividers and spiral notebooks!
