Great Lakes Credit Union Members 'Stuff the Bus' for Tibbott
Principal Ana Wilson: "These supplies will be used to replenish whatever our teachers need in the classrooms."
The following news release was submitted by Larry Randa, director of communications with the Valley View School District:
Tibbott Elementary School officials Friday picked up hundreds of dollars in school supplies courtesy of the Great Lakes Credit Union’s “Stuff the Bus” program.
“It gets very expensive for families to provide the supplies each child needs each school year, especially if you have more than one child in the school system,” said Tibbott Principal Ana Wilson. “Our little ones lose supplies and go through their supplies quickly. These supplies will be used to replenish whatever our teachers need in the classrooms.”
The Great Lakes Credit Union “Stuff the Bus” program, which is co-sponsored by WLS 94.7FM radio, is in its third year, with Credit Union members donating thousands of dollars in school supplies and cash to help schools with a large low income population. Costco’s Mettawa store has also donated a significant amount of backpacks to the program.
GLCU conducted a poll of its members at their Naperville and Bolingbrook branches to determine which school most deserved to have their bus “stuffed” this year with Tibbott coming out on top.
