Wareham Public Schools students will be collecting much-needed school supplies for students in Cape Verde until Sept. 30.

A booth will be set up at the Cape Verdean Festival in Onset on August 13. Donations will also be accepted at all Wareham schools.

Backpacks, pencils, pens, pencil sharpeners, safety scissors, colored pencils, crayons, markers, paper, non-toxic glue sticks, erasers, and binders are among the needed materials.

Wareham Public Schools students have been building relationships with two schools in Santa Cruz, Cape Verde in the “Sister City Schools” project. The school district will be sending supplies to the two schools in Cape Verde this fall to show support.
