The Elks Lodge recently purchased more than $800 worth of school supplies and presented those supplies to Trent Elementary School and Rogers High School. The lodge donated glue sticks, pencils and colored pencils, folders, and spiral and composition notebooks to Trent, and they donated spiral notebooks, pencils and 16 GB flash drives to the high school.

The Elks Lodge has bought supplies for local schools for the past three years with the help of a Gratitude Grant from the Elks National Foundation and plans to donate school supplies again next fall.
