The Concord-Afton Sunset Rotary Club is thrilled to announce the success of its 7th Annual School Tools Initiative, a program dedicated to ensuring that every child in the Cabarrus County Schools and Kannapolis City Schools systems has the supplies they need to excel in the classroom. This impactful project demonstrates our Club’s commitment to supporting local education and fostering opportunities for all students to succeed.

Generous contributions from the community played a pivotal role in this year’s initiative, with members of the public donating an impressive array of school supplies. Additionally, the Club utilized funds raised throughout the year from our various fundraising efforts to purchase even more essential items. Club members sorted thousands of supplies, including notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and more, ensuring each box was carefully prepared to meet the needs of students across the two school systems.

The culmination of these efforts was the delivery of multiple boxes of supplies to every school in Cabarrus County Schools and Kannapolis City Schools. Teachers and administrators expressed gratitude for the much-needed resources that help prepare students for a successful academic year.

Now in its seventh year, the School Tools Initiative has become a cornerstone of our Club’s community service, reflecting Rotary’s motto, “Service Above Self.” By addressing the critical needs of local students, the Concord-Afton Sunset Rotary Club continues to make a meaningful impact in the lives of families and educators.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this initiative a success. Together, we’re building a stronger community, one backpack at a time!
