SPRINGFIELD — Residents and staff of Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing, a member of the Loomis Communities, held a school-supply drive over the summer to collect supplies and monetary donations for John J. Duggan Academy in Springfield, and have announced donations of hundreds of supplies along with $770 to the school to start off the school year.

The retirement community, located less than a mile down the road from Duggan Academy, delivered hundreds of supplies, including essentials such as pencils, markers, notebooks, and folders; art supplies; musical accessories such as drumsticks; cleaning supplies; and more. The school also donated $770 to Duggan, which serves approximately 800 students in grades 6 through 12.
