For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Bartell Drugs welcomes donations of school supplies for its 11th annual “School Tools for Kids in Need,” Aug. 10-30 at Bartell’s 63 locations, including Kent at 12946 SE Kent-Kangley Road and Auburn at 3902 A St. SE.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The drive supports students in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties through World Vision’s Teacher Resource Center in Fife.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n With the new school year approaching, donated school supplies help re-stock the Teacher Resource Center where teachers “shop” free of charge for school supplies to assist qualifying students.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n According to Federal Way-based World Vision, a globally-known charitable organization, as many as 58,000 local students could begin the school year without the basic school supplies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n A “basic needs” list of suggested donation items found in Bartell’s “School Aisles” include:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Dixon No. 2 Pencils, 8 Count
