It’s time for back to school shopping – an exciting time for many of us. For others, it can be overwhelming. Family stress can mount with thoughts of purchasing school supplies, clothes, and planning around hectic work schedules.
Many in Manatee County worry about how they will pay for the things kids need to have a successful school year and our teachers often end up stepping in to cover what is left. This is where we can help. This year were holding school supply drive to support the teacher and staff at Johnson Middle School. When shopping for school supplies this year, please pick up a few extras. You can make a donation or drop off schools supplies at this years Splash Bash. You can also bring your donation to 14912 Sundial Place, Greenbrook Preserve by August 14th!
With your help, we can help prepare kids for success.
