Dear Neighbor,

The back to school season is just around the corner! It can be an exciting and often overwhelming time for students and parents alike. New environments, new memories to make, and new lessons to come during the new school year - all start with school supplies! 

With this in mind, below I am sharing my two (2) district office sponsored back to school giveaways to help ensure students of District 18 start school prepared. I am also sharing back to school events I am co-sponsoring with our local community based partners to provide as many options as possible with supplies and backpacks.

Please see the below flyers to see the opportunities you and your family have this August to receive free school supplies ahead of the new school year! 

In Community,

Hon. Amanda Farías
