ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md -- Members of Army Contracting Command -- Aberdeen Proving Ground did their part to ensure students of Harford County Public Schools in Maryland have school supplies to begin the upcoming school year. The 926th Contracting Battalion, Tenant Division and Division C conducted a "Tools for Schools" drive in support of the Greater Excellence in Education Foundation.

"Tools for Schools is a school supply resource center where teachers can shop for free for learning materials to support students in need," said Debora Merlock, President and Founder of GEEF. "The contributions received from ACC-APG will contribute to our central resource center and help to ensure every child has school supplies necessary for quality learning."

Master Sgt. Kayann Brown, contract specialist, organized this event for ACC-APG and established drop box locations to collect needed school supplies. Each box had a listing posted of suggested supply items to donate.

"The Tools for Schools drive went well," stated Brown. "We collected a lot and filled two large boxes with school supplies. I extend my thanks to those who contributed and I'm sure the teachers and students of Harford County will be grateful for the supplies they receive."
