🎒✏️ THANK YOU, OXFORD–ADDISON COMMUNITY! ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported the 2026 Operation Homefront Dollar Tree Back to School Campaign!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, 259 school supply items valued at $316 were donated to help support local students and families. 🙌

Some of these supplies will be used by our Wildcat Cub Club mentors with their mentees and to support a local family. The remaining supplies will be shared among all five Oxford Community Schools elementary schools:

🍎 Clear Lake Elementary
📚 Daniel Axford Elementary
✏️ Oxford Elementary
⭐ Lakeville Elementary
🎒 Leonard Elementary

A special THANK YOU to Dollar Tree, Operation Homefront, and everyone who donated! Every notebook, pencil, folder, and school supply helps make sure our kids have what they need to start the school year strong.

❤️ Small donations add up to a BIG impact!
