Residents of Mendon Community Schools have a chance to, once again, come to the aid of Mendon’s students by answering a wish list compiled by teachers at the district’s two school buildings, reports the Sturgis Journal. Donations or financial contributions toward teacher wish-list items are administered through the Mendon Schools Foundation, a not-for-profit entity that ensures donations are tax-deductible. The foundation encourages instructors to keep the item they request at $500 or less.
Excerpt: Brandon Wenzel, principal at Mendon Elementary School, said local businesses play a big role in helping fulfill requests. In other cases, he said, the requests are fulfilled by individuals and families. "My in-laws have all decided to make a sizable donation at Christmas on behalf of the grandkids, other cases we hear are purchases made in memory of or in honor of someone, and a lot are done anonymously," Wenzel said.
