Community members are invited to help "Stuff the Bus" with school supplies for the Sun Prairie's 1,800 students in grades K-12 whose families struggle to afford school supplies. Collection will take place August 5 and August 6 at Copps West in Sun Prairie.

Area mascots will be on sight to cheer on donors as they place supplies in the school bus.

Supplies will then be distributed by volunteers to students in mid-August to ensure they are ready to begin the school year with the supplies they need. Each qualifying student will receive a new backpack filled with supplies, including notebooks, folders, markers, and more. Stuff the Bus will benefit elementary, middle school, and high school students in need from all Sun Prairie schools.
