West Chester Area School District students in need are off to a great start in the new school year thanks to the Mom’s Club of West Chester, writes Holly Herman for the West Chester Patch. 

The local chapter of the international nonprofit has made a generous donation of school supplies to the district, including backpacks, water bottles, headphones, notebooks, and folders. 

“We are so thankful that we have such generous partners that assist us in supporting our students and families so that all students can start off the year with the basic resources they need to be successful in the classroom,” said Tricia Alston, West Chester Area School District social worker coordinator. 

The supplies were distributed to economically-disadvantaged students in the district’s 17 schools.
