nbCC to Host 13th Annual “Back-Packed for Success”
NORTH ADAMS, MA - The Northern Berkshire Community Coalition (nbCC) is hosting its 13th annual back-to-school event for school-aged kids for local northern Berkshire students. This includes homeschooled students. This year registration has expanded to include children entering pre-k programs, spanning pre-K through 12th grade. Students will receive a free backpack to fill with school supplies.
The event for families living in Florida & Savoy will be located at Gabriel Abbott Memorial School, 56 North County Road, Florida on Tuesday, August 12 from 5:00p.m. to 6:00pm. Families picking up from Florida and Savoy will receive pre-packed backpacks and will be contacted to choose the color of their child’s backpack.
The event for families living in Williamstown, North Adams, Clarksburg, Adams, & Cheshire will be located at the North Adams Armory gym, 206 Ashland Street, North Adams on Thursday, August 14 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Families picking up at this location will choose their backpacks and school supplies at the event. If possible, please bring children along so they can choose for themselves.
This event requires pre-registration to ensure there are enough backpacks and supplies ready for each child, as supplies are limited. Families can register online at:https://forms.gle/Uifib4ghS1betJzu8 or by contacting nbCC's Family Resource Center at (413) 663-7588 to register.
