Thanks to the efforts of two local businesses, students at four Penn Manor schools will be getting the supplies they need to help them excel in school.

Roberts Automotive in Mountville and Customs Classics in Willow Street collected school supplies from staff members and customers and donated them Thursday to Central Manor, Pequea, Conestoga and Eshleman elementary schools.

Hundreds of markers, pencils, notebooks, crayons, rules, glue sticks, backpacks and tissues were collected in an effort that began five years ago and has grown from one school in the first year to four this year.

Thanks to all who participated for your generosity!
