The Los Alamos community receives an A+ when it comes to 2021 school supplies.

Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, churches and individuals, Los Alamos JJAB was able to raise $4,600, in financial and material donations, for school supplies for Los Alamos Public Schools students.

Through the JJAB Resource Specialist program, 63 individual students were provided with supplies at the start of the school year. In addition, JJAB worked with and is continuing to work with the elementary, middle and high schools to identify additional student needs.
