The Guthrie County New Opportunities is starting to take applications for school materials before the school year begins.

Director Rhonda Huggins says they are starting early this year to make sure each student gets what they need  before school starts in August. Huggins says they will also be taking donations of supplies that include glue sticks, scissors, wooden pencils, paper and much more.

“So when we get a child and find out what school it is, we go in and we pull that supply list for that age for that class and then we try to get as close to what their supply list is.”

She says that students ages 8-14-years-old   that fill out an application to get school supplies will also be entered into a drawing to win a free Chromebook. Registration can take place at the New Opportunities Office or over the phone until school starts in August.
