The 2010-2011 school year is just around the corner and parents are gearing up to get their children ready for school. To relieve some of the stress and financial burden of this annual occurrence, a coalition of community organizations and the Angle Lake Family Resource Center is sponsoring our 4th annual Back to School Resource Fair for SeaTac families on Thursday, August 26, 2010.

The event expresses the power of community to work together and create an environment of neighborly care and action for children and families. Our goal is to provide 1300 backpacks filled with supplies to SeaTac students, kindergarten through high school.

The Fair will run from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is located on the grounds of the Angle Lake Neighborhood Church and Angle Lake Family Resource Center, 4040 So 188th, SeaTac (right across from Chinook Middle School on 42nd Street)

During the fair, parents will learn about a variety of resources and supports to meet student/family needs, such as after-school programs, affordable childcare, and parent support and assistance programs. Students will get off to a good academic start with backpacks full of supplies, immunizations, haircuts, well-child and dental checks, and personal care packages. There will be lots of other FREE products and services as well and fun activities, refreshments, door prizes, games, and interpreters to make the event enjoyable.
