THIS WEEKEND: Backpack Giveaway and Education Forum

Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) will be joined by the San Bernardino County Library as she hosts her 2nd Annual Tools for Success Day on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Baker Family Learning Center located at 2818 North Macy Street, in Muscoy. During the event, local school district officials will discuss steps they're taking to implement the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). Immediately following the discussion, a free backpack giveaway and resource fair will take place. “Back to school is always an exciting time of the year. Especially for students who will see a positive change as new standards take effect. Under California’s new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), our local school districts will have greater discretion in selected and implementing programs and services that target the needs of our most vulnerable children,” said Assemblymember Brown. Last year, Assemblymember Brown hosted her 1st Annual Tools for Success events in Bloomington and Muscoy. Between both events, nearly 250 students were provided a backpack stuffed with school supplies. “Being prepared and organized before school begins can have an immense impact on a student’s success,” said Assemblymember Brown. “I want to ensure that I’m doing all that I can to support our students so they can be successful in the classroom.” This year’s event is sponsored by NID Housing, Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County, Staples, Farmdale Creamery, Westech College, the Inland Empire Health Plan, Molina Healthcare, the Incredible Edible Community Garden, Job Corps, First 5 San Bernardino and the San Bernardino Valley Links. Due to limited supplies, free backpacks will be given on a first come, first served basis. Priority will be given to children residing in Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Rialto, San Bernardino, Bloomington and Muscoy.
