Supplies needed for Teachers Warehouse
The Oklahoma City-based mail supply company Comtech and the Oklahoma City Thunder are leading a supply drive until November 7 to help stock the Teacher’s Warehouse at the Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools.
Every year the warehouse provides much needed supplies to teachers throughout Oklahoma City Schools preventing teacher’s from spending their money on paper and pencils for students.
Supplies can be dropped off at Comtech, 117 E Hill Street, or other locations that can be found by calling 843-3185.
The grand finale to the supply drive will be the Thunder’s home game on Nov. 7 against the Boston Celtics. Fans who drop off school supplies at the entrances to the Oklahoma Ford Center will be entered to win a number of prizes including autographed memorabilia.

Hello, I love your blog. Is there some thing I can do to receive updates like a subscription or some thing? I’m sorry I am not familiar with RSS?
This weblog is terrific. There is often all the correct facts at the ideas of my fingers. Thank you and maintain up the beneficial work!
I was questioning if you ever taken into account adjusting the page layout of your web log? Its rather perfectly put together; I love exactly what you’ve got to express. Though possibly you may perform a very little more in the way of written content therefore persons could connect with it better. Youve obtained an dreadful whole lot of wording for only having 1 or two photographs. Maybe you might space it out more beneficial?
Here’s a thought: how about using the proceeds from just ONE OU home game to buy supplies for the public schools? Every Oklahoman should be ashamed of how the public schools are having to have “paper drives” to make it through the school year. Priorities???
