The Chapter plans to deliver a supply of snacks and supplies throughout the school year.
Sunny Hill Elementary Principal Lizzeth Fausto and Assistant Principal Edgar De La Mora generously thanked the Chapter for the donation. Special thanks to Sunny Hill Elementary School for collecting unusable crayons for the Chapter to recycle through SCARCE, an award-winning environmental education nonprofit dedicated to creating sustainable communities (SCARCE.org).
