After a summer filled with fun and learning opportunities, children at FPTV are heading back to school. Thanks to the generosity of Resurrection Catholic Parish, St. James Episcopal Church, Lori with Westover Inns, and many thoughtful individual donors, they will be furnished with new backpacks, water, bottles, and appropriate school supplies for their grade level.
Summer activities culminated in a Back-to-School Bash complete with a Kona shaved ice truck, a FLIP (Fun, Learning, Inspiration, and Play) Museum visit, and an opportunity for children to select their backpacks and supplies. When hearing about the afternoon of fun, one young guest exclaimed, “I have to go tell my sister. She’s going to pass out.” The day of the event she excitedly declared, “This is the best day ever.” Many of our guest families expressed their sincere gratitude for the opportunity to receive the needed supplies.
As we work to plan activities for the fall, we want to express our appreciation for everyone who assisted with summer programming. Coco Camp, bingo nights, movie nights, reptile show, pizza dinner, Sunday art afternoons, Olympics night, July 4th bash, FLIP Museum visits, back to school bash, and more were incredible opportunities for our guests to make lasting positive memories.
