Guthrie and Rotary Club of Cortland Join Forces for School Supply Drive

Guthrie Cortland Medical Center and Medical Group, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Cortland, are proud to announce the Teacher’s Pet School Supply Drive.

As much as we can appreciate the benefits of a good apple, we’re asking the community to give our dedicated teachers the supplies they need for the coming school year. With tight budgets, we know teachers often look inward to provide their students with the best possible resources. 

This year, Guthrie and the Rotary Club of Cortland are giving everyone in the community the opportunity to be a teacher’s pet by donating supplies from August 1-16. Collection bins are located in the Guthrie Cortland Medical Center lobby, Guthrie West Road Primary Care, Guthrie Homer Primary Care, Guthrie Cortland OBGYN, Guthrie Cortland Orthopedics and Guthrie Cortland General Surgery.

Teacher needs include:

• Lysol wipes
• Soft tissues
• Sandwich baggies
• Gallon size baggies
• Pencil grips for students
• Sharpies
• Flare pens

The teachers will also gladly accept the normal supplies on a child’s list, including pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, folders and binders.

Following the donation drive, Rotary Club members will sort the items, to be delivered to the Cortland and Homer School Districts. 

Whole body health includes body and mind, so be a Teacher’s Pet this year and help us ensure students and teachers can be worry free during the school day, knowing they have the essentials for a great day of learning, each and every day.
