Target donation benefits students
The Regional School Unit 21 school board recently accepted two $500 gift cards from Target to be used at Kennebunk Elementary School and Sea Road School. School counselors and staff will determine how to spend the money and help students and local families.
“We sure are grateful for this,” said Kennebunk Elementary School Counselor Kelly Wright in an email. “Our school will use the money for nonfood related items when possible, since there are many resources for families with food insecurity. The school counseling office will collaborate with the Student Support Team to determine who’s in need and agree on spending the money. We plan to buy household items like shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, socks, clothes, snow pants, jackets, hats, boots and school supplies.”
Sea Road School Counselor Deana Normandeau said the generous gift will be used to purchase items beneficial to all students, like reusable water bottles, sweatpants, leggings, rain boots, snow pants and zippered sweatshirts. Sea Road School is also setting aside some of the money for spring when the need for clothing and supplies could arise.
