Back to School Clothing Event
The beginning of August marked the second annual“ Back to School Clothing Sale” at SVRCS, which was a huge success, led by the Sugar Valley Rural Charter School Community Engagement team. This year ' s sale also featured free haircuts and a backpack give away.
Over the summer, the Community Engagement team collected gently used clothes and shoes, suitable for students Kindergarten through 12th grade who attend any school. They were overwhelmed with the support of clothing that came in to help aid students in the area. Shoppers were able to fill a grocery bag for five dollars with anything they could fit in the bag.
Backpacks were donated by the Kiwanis Club of Bald Eagle and Nittany Valleys. They were filled with school supplies, and children receiving these backpacks left with a huge smile. The Kiwanis group would also like families to know, if your student is ever in need of supplies or food, to please reach out to them for help.
Students also were able to receive free haircuts provided by three local salon professionals, who volunteered their time to be sure the kids are looking their best for the start of school.
Be on the lookout for more community events that will be happening, such as:
• Senior Social, happening the 2nd Friday of every month in the SVRCS Gym Lobby.
• SVRCS Preschool Playgroup, 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month.
• Basic Sign Language Courses, led by Bob Probst.
• And many other interesting classes designed for all ages of our community to come together and learn new things.
