GM Community Back to School Drive
Presented by: Onward Together GMLS
Onward Together GMLS is building a team and resources beyond the boardroom to further equitable education, community resources and opportunities for our students and families. This Community Group is lead by Groveport Madison Local Schools Board Members LaToya Dowdell-Burger and Seth Bower.
​
Last year they launched their inaugural Groveport Community Back to School Drive with various community partners. In 2021, We were able to support 115 Groveport Madison Schools students with filled backpacks. In addition, we collected enough supplies to provide Groveport Madison Local Education Association with extra supplies for teachers who have students in need.
