A Back to School Celebration to distribute elementary school students free school supplies will be held next week at the Crittenden County Child Support Office in Marion. Meantime, middle and high school students can each be registered to receive one of two iPad minis to be awarded next month.
Both giveaways are sponsored by Crittenden County Attorney Rebecca Johnson.
Free school supplies will be available for school children in kindergarten through fifth grade from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday at the child support office located at 217 W. Bellville St. In order to obtain the supplies, however, parents or guardians must first stop by the office this week to receive a voucher. Vouchers can be picked up from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Friday at the child support office.
When signing up for the voucher, parents or guardians are asked to specify the grade level of the child. School supplies will be tailored to the needs of the child based on grade level. Once they receive the voucher, parents will be given an appointed time to stop by the child support office on Monday to receive the supplies.
Parents and guardians of middle and high school students can register to win an iPad mini during the registration period this week. One iPad mini will be given away to both a middle and a high school student during the Back to School Bash held Aug. 6 inside the Crittenden County Middle School multipurpose room.
