School SuppliesDuring the months of July and August, CAPTAIN CHS collects school supplies for those students in need so that they are better prepared for the classroom and their educations. With their family's help, students can then complete their classroom list. Supplies are distributed to students in the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake and Shenendehowa School Districts.
The 2023 School Supply program is complete. Details on 2024 will be posted in July 2024.
