Our Mission

We focus on the whole child knowing that a child cannot grow and learn without the basic necessities. School Rocks Party Box provides students with the necessary items and programs that support their educational and social emotional needs, making school a positive and rewarding experience.

Our Story

What began as an idea in 2016, from founder Tia Gannon, to provide holiday parties to a single classroom in a disadvantaged school, has today grown to serving four elementary schools with over 1,200 children in the Columbus area.  After discovering the lack of funding for school-wide programs, the inability of families to provide basic necessities due to financial circumstances, and that schools did not have PTO’s and had limited parent participation, she set forth on the goal for these children to have a similar school experience that her own children are fortunate to have.  From that day forward, the mission became providing students with the necessary items and programs that support their educational and social emotional needs, making school a more positive and rewarding experience. Today, School Rocks Party Box, 501c3, provides all 1,200 students they serve with things they otherwise would not have – their own school supply kit, basic personal hygiene items, access to books at home, classroom activities and holiday parties, as well as funding and supporting the school’s programs that support positive behavior, attendance and being a good school citizen. This support, also includes providing the teachers and administration with the supplies they need for their students and classroom as well as celebrating them throughout the year and during Teacher Appreciation Week.

Today, School Rocks Party Box has established and expanded the programs with multiple School and Community Partners.  Since 2016, we have:
  • distributed over 5,000 school supply kits.
  • provided over 3,500 personal hygiene kits.
  • hosted holiday parties for over 2,000 children.
  • given out over 20,000 free books to children.
  • provided school-wide positive behavior (PBIS) reward parties for over 3,000 children.
  • supplied over 50 classrooms with over 800 games and puzzles for indoor recess.
  • distributed in-kind donations totaling over $100,000.
