The Bermuda Junior Service League (BJSL) will begin its 'Stuff the Bus' project in September.

The programme, which the BJSL intends to make an annual initiative, will be supplying 600 pencil cases 'stuffed' with stationary supplies to all Government Primary One classes.

On September 15, volunteers from the BJSL will be giving each new student a pencil case labelled with the student's name and packed with school materials ranging from crayons and markers to scissors and glue sticks. With the support of both local and overseas suppliers, the BJSL, a female volunteer organisation, has invited the Island's eighteen government primary schools to participate in this new initiative while also aiming to support students' parents.

The BJSL's current president, Melanie Whaley, has endorsed this program as an assistance for Bermuda's families. She said: "The League's mandate and current focus is to support women and children, families in general."
