Back to School Bonanza School Supply Giveaway Slated for Aug. 27

Aug 22, 2016

The University will hold a School Supply Giveaway on Saturday, Aug. 27 of items that would have been distributed at the Back to School Bonanza, which was canceled due to weather conditions. School supplies will be distributed Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the first floor lobby of Leahy Hall, which is located at the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Linden Street. Items will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

The annual Back to School Bonanza, a free, public event for area children and their families that was cancelled on Sunday, is one of the University’s Fall Welcome activities for its incoming class. This year’s event was offered by the University’s Center for Student Engagement, Office of Campus Ministries’ Center for Service and Social Justice, the Jesuit Center and the Office of Community Relations in partnership with community partners: Lackawanna County, La Festa Italiana, NEPAMOM.com, Pediatrics of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Scranton School District, State Representative Frank Farina, State Representative Marty Flynn and other community organizations that provide interactive activities for the children.
