Education,San Antonio,Back To School

One way for students to get a head start on a new school year is to get them the tools they need to succeed -- school supplies.

– , a nonprofit of the San Antonio Police Officers Association, is partnering with local businesses for the annual school supply drive, “Stuff the Bus.”“School supplies are very hard to get, it’s getting more expensive every year. We try to reach out to communities that do really need the supplies, that may be low-income, or maybe it’s just hard to purchase school supplies .

Perez said since a lot of SAPOA members were born and raised in San Antonio, they want to give back to the community.Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper Realtors is one of the local businesses joining SAPOA for the school supply drive. “We really do believe at Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper Realtors that it is our responsibility to give back to the community that helped grow our company. We’re a 38-year-old company here in San Antonio, and it’s our responsibility,” said Leesa Harper Rispoli, broker of the realty company.

Harper Rispoli is encouraging community members to continue donating school supplies throughout the year, either by contacting SAPOA or bring them to a Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper Realtors location.
