Women United Mayo School Supply Drive - Support Young Students and Their Families While Learning Remotely

Adapting our tradition of reading to students at Dr. Reginald Mayo Early Childhood School (185 Goffe Street, New Haven, CT 06511), this year we will be inspiring students and educators virtually. Young learners need supplies to support their interactive, hands-on learning at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers use these specific materials during their live virtual class sessions. Children will be able to complete follow-up activities with your support!
