    Summer Community Involvement Campaign!

    Attention all SGMP La Members! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Summer Community Involvement Campaign: The School Supply Drive! ✏️

    With the new school year approaching, many students may not have access to essential supplies needed for a successful academic journey. That's why we're stepping up to make a difference! So you can donate School Supplies from notebooks to pencils to crayons to paper! Bring our donation to the June 27th or July 11th meeting. You can also help Spread the Word: Share this initiative with your friends, family, and colleagues! Together, we can amplify our impact and ensure that every student has the tools they need to thrive in the classroom. The students at the the Walter L. Abney Elementary School in St. Tammany Parish will benefit from the donations.
