School supplies are filling store shelves, and back-to-school ads will be appearing soon. This is the perfect time to organize a school supply drive! Milwaukee businesses, community groups, and faith-based communities are invited to collect school supplies so MPS students have the tools for a successful school year.
Become a partner with the MPS Department of Strategic Partnerships and Customer Service! Help students prepare for the new school year by donating to the MPS School Supply Drive through September 9. Early start schools begin August 15, and traditional start schools begin September 6.
