<p>This annual school supply drive benefits Georgia Tech employees who&nbsp;need support&nbsp;equipping&nbsp;their children in grades K-12&nbsp;with school supplies.</p>

<p>This year,&nbsp;GTHR has&nbsp;partnered again with&nbsp;<a href="https://schoolkitz.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">SchoolKitz.com</a>&nbsp;to offer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.brightschoolkitz.com/Store/School/26095" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">pre-packaged supply kits</a>. This will&nbsp;streamline the&nbsp;donation&nbsp;process&nbsp;and make sure&nbsp;all backpacks are filled&nbsp;uniformly. Each school kit purchased sponsors one child.</p>

<p>If you would like to sponsor a child(ren), the deadline to order supplies from SchoolKitz is <strong>Tuesday, June&nbsp;7</strong>. If you would like to request a backpack(s), the deadline is Friday, June 10.&nbsp;</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
