On June 5th, Pyle will be participating in the annual Drive for Supplies during TAG. While cleaning out your lockers, please remember to place all used (but still usable) school supplies in the Drive for Supplies boxes located in the hallways. These supplies will be distributed to students in need. If your items are not reusable but recyclable, please place them in the school’s recycling bins. By donating, you are helping reduce our solid waste that ends up in landfills. You also help disadvantaged children in Montgomery County, the Washington metropolitan area, and in other countries. If you are looking for something to do this July or need student service hours, volunteer to help pack and distribute the donated school supplies. See our Drive for Supplies coordinator, Mr. Enderle.
