Please note that if the time slots are filled, we ask that you still sign up. If there are extras, you will be contacted.


Studies show that children having school supplies of their own can improve grades, creativity, attitudes towards learning, behavior, peer relationships and self-image. The Germantown School District is dedicated to make certain that all students have school supplies each school year.   

Is your family in need of school supplies to start the 2024-2025 year? If you are a Germantown School District family in need of assistance due to financial constraints, please watch for a sign up link to reserve a time slot to pick up donated school supplies in coming weeks. Advance sign-up will be required.

Where: Kennedy Middle School (Student Services Office). Enter through doors (labeled #12) by the flagpole and across the street from Fireman’s Park.

When: Tuesday, August 20th 8am-12pm and Wednesday, August 21st 12pm-5pm

Please contact Kathryn Hennekens, School Social Worker, at (262) 253-3459 or via email at khennekens@gsdwi.org if you are in need of assistance and need to make alternate arrangements.
