On Wednesday, donors can help “Fill the Bus!” when supplies may be dropped off at the school bus located at Walmart, 1965 N. State St., Greenfield from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Priority items needed include backpacks, dry erase markers, crayons, scissors, glue sticks, ear buds, pencils, pink erasers, washable markers and two- pocket folders. Other needed items are colored pencils, highlighters, wide rule spiral notebooks, tissues and plastic pencil boxes.
