The non-profit organization, the Kids in Need Foundation, donated school supplies to all relocated elementary and middle school students in East Baton Rouge Parish. The donation came from the foundation’s Second Responder program, which sends school supplies to areas where a natural disaster has occurred.
Brookstown Middle school, relocated to Scotlandville Pre-Engineering Magnet Academy, was the first of seven schools to receive the supplies.
Dave Smith, Executive Director for the Kids in need Foundation and Gina Palmer, director of programs were present and helped distribute supplies to each child. Prior to students arriving to receive their supplies, Brookstown Middle students presented Smith and Palmer with small tokens of the district’s appreciation.
