The Hillsborough Education Foundation established a relief fund to help students at Lee Elementary School after the school caught fire on Tuesday.

Needed supplies include #2 pencils, pencil boxes/cases, pencil sharpeners, erasers, pens, spiral notebooks, composition books, wide-ruled notebook paper, glue sticks, scissors, construction paper, poster boards, pocket folders, index cards, binders, dividers, dry-erase markers, washable markers, highlighters, calculators, post-it notes, tissue and hand sanitizer.

If you wish to contribute school supplies, they can be dropped off at the following locations: 

Hillsborough County School District Warehouse

Tampa, FL 33610
Time: Thursday and Friday, 9/14 and 9/15, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
