Back the Pack to Get Under Way Oct. 3
When the school board meets Sept. 22, members will hear about one of the most heartwarming projects the district has undertaken in recent years—providing food for the many children who leave our schools on Friday and return on Monday without having much to eat over the weekend. Titled "Back the Pack," and sponsored by the Rock Hill School District Education Foundation, the goal is to provide a number of children (identified by their schools) with a special back pack filled with nutritious food that they'll receive as they leave school on Friday. Serena Williams, coordinator of community services, will oversee the program with Sue Kutz, a community volunteer.
A donation of $12 will feed one student for a month.
Imagination Library Kick Off a Success
Cindy Hunt, coordinator of ParentSmart, wants to thank everyone who helped publicize the Dolly Parton Imagination Library kick-off on Sept. 12. "It was a huge success," Cindy states. "We signed up over 250 children between the ages of birth and five who will receive free books monthly, and 1789 children were registered in York County."
