Supporting Literacy
Staples Back-to-School Program
For the past number of years, Staples has partnered with The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise to provide support for schools and students within the community. The support has ranged from backpacks and actual supplies to more recently, gift cards which allow the teachers and school administrators to select items to meet the specific needs of their students.

Rotarians set-up near the entrance of the Staples store to answer questions about the program and to encourage donations by shoppers |

Elementary schools were the primary receipients. A requirement of the program is that each school accounts for funds received by providing receipts for goods purchased as the goal of this program is to provide direct benefit to students. |

Beyond 21, a not-for-profit educational program for students older than 21 who have challenges, was one of the beneficiaries of this year's Back-to-School campaign. |
