Allstate donates bookbags
Allstate Insurance agent Cullen DeSantis, with an office currently in Calcutta, donated more than 300 bookbags to children in grades preschool through junior high at the School of Bright Promise and the Robert Bycroft school in Columbiana County. The bags were filled with school supplies, such as crayons, glue sticks, pencils, rules and folders. Approximately 50 leftover bags were distributed to local women’s shelters to be used for those seeking shelter throughout the course of the school year and to help those with young ones get back on their feet. On hand recently at the School of Bright Promise with DeSantis were Jackson Smith, Paxson Gorby, Brad Abshire, Braydon Patrone, Caylee Kausky, Marshall Smith and Gaige Roski.
