Miami Lakes K-8 Center's (MLK8) PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) has supplied 83 teachers in their school with year-round school supplies through the initiative Teachers Closet.
The Teachers Closet is a program that accepts new supplies and materials for staff to use in their classrooms. Teachers can visit the closet, and use donated items for their students.
The first distribution took place on October 4 and was received by teachers with smiles and appreciation. Local businesses have partnered with MLK8, and set up donation boxes so that the community can join in the effort.
Donations are currently being accepted at Prime Cleaners, Specialty Smiles, The Keyes Company and Vicky Bakery. School supply donations can include copy paper, magnets, file folders, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, scotch tape, markers, pencils and more.
