In addition to the items active schools receive in their kits, UDS also provides limited resources that can be checked out for events or specific activities. In order to request these items, you must complete and submit the Resource Request Form. If the items are available, we will ship them to you for your event or activity. Only 3 resources may be borrowed at a time, and all items must be returned before another can be requested. We ask that you keep items for only up to 2 weeks to allow other schools the opportunity to use them.
Below is a list and description of each of the resources available for borrowing:
