"Toolbox 2020" Needs Your Hands

Fulton County Schools has partnered with Toolbox, Inc. (a registered GA non-profit comprised 100% of volunteers) to provide a 5th grade virtual learning experience for all of its 59 elementary schools. Impacting confidence and pride, the curriculum will be delivered through FCS’s on-line network. Called the Young Apprentice Construction Club, this remarkably successful after-school (in-classroom until now) program was started here in Roswell back in 2015 with the strong support of Roswell Rotary.

Since then, the club has impacted over 500 students. This year, virtually participating students will complete the build of their very own toolbox after learning safety and how to use the tools provided by Toolbox. Set to begin in mid-October, they are preparing to engage up to 2500 kids this school year.

In order to pull this off, Toolbox needs a host of volunteers who can help with the cutting of wood and assembly of project kits to ultimately be handed out to the students. 3 hour shifts are scheduled between 9A-noon or noon-3pm on Tuesday-Sept08, Wed-Sept09 or Fri-Sept11. Be sure to email or call Rotarian John Ross, so he can fill you in further! JRoss@toolbox.LIFE or 303-981-7270.
