Wilson’s World: Starting off 2019 at Classroom Central with Domtar Paper and First Book

CHARLOTTE, N.C. –  Wilson is beginning the new year by joining volunteers and workers from Classroom Central Domtar Paper and First Book as they begin stocking the shelves with new books for a big day on Thursday.  These brand new books will be ready for area educators when they come in on Thursday to shop for free and pick out books to take back to their classrooms.

The mission of Classroom Central is to give students who live in poverty the school supplies they need to succeed in the classroom. Classroom Central covers schools in Charlotte Mecklenburg, Gaston, Iredell/Statesville, Union, the City of Kannapolis, and Lancaster, SC.

Domtar Paper, headquartered in Fort Mill, S.C.,  designs, manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of pulp, paper and personal care products from copy paper to baby diapers.  They have been partnering with Classroom Central for over 10 years helping get books and supplies to teachers and their students.
