School Supply Drive for Stephanie Crispinelli School

Stephanie Crispinelli, a teen from Somers, NY, was in Haiti helping orphans when she died in the earthquake on January 12, 2010. To continue her the good works, friends and family are building a second school in Jamaica. School supplies, such as crayons, construction paper and pencils, are needed. Drop off these items at the Primrose School or Somers Library until April 15. The full announcement is below. See this post to learn more about the Stephanie Crispinelli Humanitarian Fund.

School Supply Drive for Stephanie Crispinelli School

Dear Friends,

Last year the Somers Community was very generous with their school supply donations for the children in Jamaica. We shipped 2400 pounds of school supplies and books to the first school that was built in Stephanie Crispinelli’s honor.

Stephanie’s family and friends are joining together to continue her passion.

We are collecting school supplies to send to Jamaica for the second Stephanie’s Place school to be built this May. I have the honor of joining the Crispinelli’s this year. We don’t need any books this time because we have so many wonderful books left from last year. The Children will have a new school but no supplies, that’s where we come in. Some suggestions would be: crayons, pencils, markers, notebooks, construction paper, and educational tools. The Dollar stores are wonderful places to get these items. The school age children are from 4-12 years old. Help us continue Stephanie’s work. The collection bins will be located at Primrose, Somers Intermediate School, and the Somers Library until April 15th.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Marie Caltabellotta @ (914)299-4726.

We are also looking for monetary donations for shipping cost. Any amount will help.

Thank You for Your Support

The Caltabellotta Family
