August Challenge: 31 Students in 31 Days
Can your club help 31 students start the school year ready to learn?
Your club's 31 can look different from another club's 31.
A few ideas:
• Provide classroom supplies that benefit 31 students.
• Stock a school supply closet.
• Fill backpacks for individual students.
• Donate hygiene items.
• Help meet another need identified by your local school.
Not sure what's needed? Connect with a school nurse, counselor, principal or teacher and ask what would help their students most.
Smaller club budget? That's okay. The goal is 31 students helped — not 31 backpacks purchased.
Imagine the impact! If every District 5M-5 club helps at least 31 students, together we could help more than 1,100 students across Hennepin County start the school year ready to learn.
Will your club take the challenge? We'd love to celebrate your club's service throughout August! Post your club service.
