The Clerk's Back to School
Drive is in Full Swing
The Clerk’s Back to School Drive just kicked off this week, but we've already received numerous donations for students in Orange County.
The Drive, which will benefit six local public schools and runs through August 14th, is something many deputy clerks had been preparing for by putting their artistic talents to use to help spread the word.
“We decorated three cardboard boxes and posted flyers in our lobby area to encourage donations," said Special Projects Coordinator Jaya Misir. “We even collected quite a bit of school supplies before the official drive began.”
The donation boxes, many decorated by deputy clerks, have been placed in the downtown courthouse and in all of our branch locations.
School supplies needed include dry erase markers, glue sticks, crayons and more. An expanded wish list can be found at

“I am super excited about this drive,” Jaya said. "I want to collect as much as I can for these kids. Every bit helps. Whatever it is, it’s one less item a parent has to buy.”
The schools benefiting from the drive are Phyllis Wheatley Elementary School, Ocoee Elementary School, Jackson Middle School, Fern Creek Elementary School, Lee Middle School and Memorial Middle School.
