LBS Financial Credit Union Donates School Supplies to Washington Elementary in Bellflower
Bellflower, CA – October 16, 2023 – LBS Financial Credit Union delivered thousands of school supplies to Washington Elementary in Bellflower on September 22, 2023.
LBS Financial adopts a different school in Bellflower Unified School District every year and works with the principal to receive a wish list of items needed for students and classrooms. Washington’s wish list included a variety of items like art supplies, books, classroom games, crayons, markers, notebooks, toys and more. Also included on their list were penguin-themed incentives for students including fidget toys, insulated lunch bags, key chains, stickers, and books in celebration of JiJi, the beloved penguin mascot in ST Math, a game-based visual instructional program that promotes math learning. During August, LBS Financial promoted a school supply drive and shared Washington Elementary’s wish list with credit union members and employees at their Lakewood location. The school supply drive was also featured on their social media and company website. Members and employees donated new school supplies during the month and the Credit Union also purchased thousands of dollars’ worth of supplies to fulfill the list.
“We are filled with gratitude to have the opportunity to have this partnership with LBS Financial Credit Union and its members,” said Principal Patricia Diaz Arroyo. “Receiving this wonderful donation of school supplies and incentives for our students was amazing! Building futures and supporting student achievement is our goal at Washington Elementary and the donation provided by the team and members of LBS Financial Credit Union will go a long way in helping our students succeed.”
This is LBS Financial’s thirteenth year of adopting a school in Bellflower Unified School District. LBS Financial also adopted two additional schools in ABCUSD and LBUSD and delivered their school supplies during the month of September.
