“Don’t forget your backpack!” is a familiar cry in any home with school-age kids, particularly at the beginning of the school year.
The Greater Parkcrest Neighborhood Association has donated backpacks filled with school supplies to students at Horace Mann Elementary School for the last few years and this year was no exception.
Eight backpacks filled with school supplies were delivered to Horace Mann’s principal before the first day of school Aug. 15 and were distributed to those in need. Greater Parkcrest also also purchased art supplies for Horace Mann while they were shopping.
