On August 21, NCDC members donated supplies for classrooms in Northumberland High School. On August 22, NCDC prez Jim Hendrickson delivered them with the help of wife Stacie and daughter Lilly. HS principal Mr. Regis accepted the bags (and bags and bags) on behalf of teachers and students.
The Dems chose to collect the supplies for two reasons. First, teachers did not get raises and NCPS does not outfit classrooms with these supplies. Second, the cost of school supplies is going up. NCDC members are committed to making sure that children and teachers have what they need to learn and teach, respectively.
As part of the Elections have Consequences initiative, Northumberland County Democratic Committee members select topics and organizations throughout the year to support in order to demonstrate the decisions made by elected officials have a very real impact on real people each and every day.
Stay tuned for the next Elections have Consequences collection. Members will receive info via email. The public should watch the website and the NCDC Facebook page.
