With a hint of fall already in the air, Viking/Beaver FCSS is currently collecting school supplies for students returning to class after Labour Day weekend on Sept. 3.
Getting ready for a new school year means many families have to fork out financially to get the supplies needed to start in September.
And, as the school year approaches, any family that finds itself in need of help getting school supplies for their children is urged to get in touch with FCSS in either Viking or Holden.
“We are starting to collect items for the Tools for School campaign until the end of August,” said Kaitlin Romaniuk, Viking FCSS Community Programmer, in an Aug. 6 release.
Donations can be dropped off at both Viking/Beaver FCSS offices in Viking and Holden. Plus, in Viking at ATB Financial, Viking Pharmacy, and Vision Credit Union.
FCSS Director Dawn Chrystian said that “any sort of school supplies are welcome,” including backpacks, lunch kits, glue, scissors, notebooks, paper, pencils, crayons, felt pens, and regular pens.
“Thank you to everyone who has donated and will be donating,” said Chrystian. “And those needing school supplies can contact FCSS at 780-336-4024 in Viking and 780-688-3928 in Holden.”
