\nFor one child, it’s the excitement of meeting a new teacher. For another, it’s the nervousness of starting a new school. And for too many families, it’s the stress of wondering how they’re going to afford everything on the school supply list.
\nAt We Rock the Spectrum Kids Gym – Cedar Rapids, we believe every family deserves their children to start the school year feeling prepared, confident, and included.
\nThat’s why we’re launching our Back-to-School Supply Drive, and we’d love for our community to help fill backpacks—and hearts—with generosity.
\nIf you’ve ever found yourself buying the 24-pack of notebooks when you only needed five… this is your chance to put those extras to great use.
\nWe’re accepting new or like-new school supplies for students of all ages, including:
\nTeachers often spend hundreds of dollars out of pocket each year.
\nHelp support them with:
\nBecause every child learns differently.
\nConsider donating:
\n\n
Some of the most appreciated donations aren’t brand new.
\nWe’re happy to accept gently used items such as:
\nIf it’s something you’d confidently send your own child to school with, there’s a good chance another family would appreciate it too.
\nOne of the easiest ways to help is the “One Extra Challenge.”
\nThe next time you’re shopping for your own children…
\nPick up:
\nIndividually they don’t seem like much.
\nTogether, they can prepare dozens of local students and their families for a successful school year.
\nOwn a business? We’d love to partner with you.
\nConsider donating:
\nWe’d be honored to recognize businesses that help support local students throughout the drive.
\nWe’re collecting donations now through the first week of August.
\nDrop them off during our regular business hours (9am to 6pm most days) at:
\nWe Rock the Spectrum Kids Gym – Cedar Rapids
3281 Armar Drive
Marion, IA 52302
The second week of August, we’ll open our Classroom to families who could use a little extra help before school begins.
\nNo family should feel embarrassed because they don’t have the supplies their kiddos need to learn.
\nOur hope is simple:
\nA community helping a community.
\nAt We Rock the Spectrum, we serve children from every walk of life.
\nEvery day we see kindness, inclusion, and generosity in action.
\nThis supply drive isn’t just about notebooks or crayons.
\nIt’s about telling families:
\n“Your community is here to help.”
\nSometimes the smallest donation creates the biggest smile.
\nWhether you donate one notebook or an entire backpack full of supplies, you’re helping local students walk into their classrooms a little more confident and a lot more prepared.
\nLet’s show what our community can do when we come together.
\nWe’ll see you at the gym—and thank you for helping every child start the school year ready to learn.
