MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. — A local guidance counselor says she’s touched by the community’s generosity after she tweeted about a paper shortage in her school district.
Katie Couch works in the Sto-Rox School District.
On Friday, she tweeted that due to a “conservative spending budget,” they’ve run out of white copy paper used for worksheets, quizzes and study guides and teachers started using any paper they could find.
I am a school counselor at Sto-Rox, a low income school district in the #Pittsburgh area. We have completely run out of paper for the rest of the year. Any #businesses willing to #donate paper to us?@GiantEagle @shopnsave @steelers @penguins @PNCBank @CitizensBank @84LumberNews

Since then, Couch says her account exploded with retweets, likes and responses from people who want to help.
“We’ve had a lot of donations so far," Couch said. "We had one business donate a whole pallet of paper and we’ve had a lot of other donations here and there.”
Sto-Rox serves about 1,400 students from McKees Rocks and Stowe Township. If you’re interested in donating, you can go HERE or call 412-771-3213.
