School supplies for the Dominican Republic

I'm headed to the Dominican Republic in just over a week, thank you Scentsy for sending me, I might have never gotten there with you!  While there, I hope to visit a local elementary school (I'm not sure if that is what they call it there).

We have been told that school supplies are in great demand and donations will be greatly accepted.  I have a suitcase that I intend to pack to the rim with supplies for them.  I could use your help if you feel so moved.  I went out tonight and made the first purchase so I can start packing (I have to be done by next Sunday, June 17th).  

Here's the list of the most needed items we have been asked for, and of course, any other appropriate items for elementary aged kids would be accepted. I'll deal with the cost of extra suitcases as necessary to get everything there. They need:

Things I have already purchased

Backpacks
Chalk
Child safe scissors
Children's multivitamins
Craft books
Craft glue
Colored pen or pencils
Notebooks
Pencils
Pencil cases
Toothbrushes
Toothpaste

If you are in the western Massachusetts area and want to get things and get them to me, as long as I have them by June 17th, that would be good.  If you want to send funds, I can accept credit or debit cards directly.  I will send you a picture of what I get with your funds and pictures of the donations when made in the Dominican Republic in a couple of week.  

I could REALLY use any help you can provide.  No donation is too small. Call me if you know my number; email me (DrGreeley@gmail.com); message me on Facebook, post a comment to this post....  whatever it takes to get in touch with me.  If you are also a Scentsy Independent Consultant, as I am, this is an awesome opportunity for us to give back...  a Scentsy tradition!



Thanks again, anything helps
