District Resource Fair Helps Over 200 Families

District Resource Fair Helps Over 200 Families

This year’s District-Wide Resource Fair showed just how powerful our community can be when we work together. Over 200 students and their families took part in a day dedicated to getting ready for the new school year—leaving with not just supplies, but also the confidence and readiness to start strong.

From brand-new backpacks stuffed with school supplies to on-site school physicals, dental exams, haircuts, and more, the day was filled with essential supports for our students. Families were able to take care of multiple back-to-school needs in one place—removing barriers and helping ensure every child steps into the classroom prepared.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing support of our partners and volunteers. A heartfelt thank you to the following organizations for generously donating their time and resources—your contributions created a lasting difference for hundreds of students.
