Superintendent Dr. Bryant said the HUGS back-to-school event at Begich Middle School brought a broad community response, with volunteers and neighborhood families gathering for free school supplies and services. The event ran from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; organizers offered supplies, haircuts and health screenings on site.
"I am just I feel very blessed and thankful that we have hundreds of community partners who are showing up to really make sure that our kids have a strong start to school," Dr. Bryant said, praising volunteer and partner turnout and saying thousands of families were eager to prepare for the coming school year. He added that once school begins it will be 'time to get to learning' and urged students to be ready to 'crack open the books.'
Reporter Corey reiterated logistics for listeners, saying, "You don't have to pre register, so just come on down and get some supplies." The segment closed with an invitation to attend the Begich Middle School HUGS event before the start of classes.
