A coalition of community organizations and the Angle Lake Family Resource Center is sponsoring their 3rd Annual Back to School Resource Fair for SeaTac families on Thursday, August 27 from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm, on the grounds of the Angle Lake Neighborhood Church and Angle Lake Family Resource Center, 4040 S. 188 Street.
The 2009-2010 school year is just around the corner and parents are gearing up to get their children ready for school. To relieve the stress and financial burden of this annual occurrence the fair will provide parents an opportunity to learn about resources and support to meet student and family needs.
This includes after-school programs, affordable childcare, and parent support and assistance programs.
Students will get off to a good academic start with free packs full of supplies, free haircuts, free well-child and dental checks, and free personal care packages. There will other free products and services, as well and fun activities, refreshments, door prizes, games, and interpreters to make the event enjoyable.
The goal is to provide more than 600 packs filled with supplies to SeaTac students, kindergarten through high school.
Major sponsors are World Vision, SeaTac Rotary, City of SeaTac, Molina Healthcare, King County Library System, Windermere Realty, Angle Lake Neighborhood Church and Lutheran Community Services NW.
