Sumner-Bonney Lake Schools Back-To-School Fairs Begin Next Month

SUMNER, WA — It's hard to believe it, but it's almost time for the kids to get back to school. The first day of classes will be Sept 7.

To help make sure everyone is prepared for the start of the 2021-22 school year, the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District has announced four Back-To-School Resource Fairs next month. Each fair is offering free backpacks, pens, pencils, crayons, notebooks, binders and other school supplies for free to any families of Sumner-Bonney Lake students in need of support.

The fairs will be held:

• Aug. 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Liberty Ridge Elementary, 2202 209th Ave Ct E, Bonney Lake.
• Aug. 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Daffodil Valley Elementary, 1509 Valley Ave, Sumner.
• Aug. 24 and 26, 2 to 6 p.m. at the Sumner-Bonney Lake Family Center, 1508 Willow St, Sumner.

The district is also collecting cash donations to make the free resource fairs possible. Fair organizers say they're prioritizing cash donations, so they can use the money to buy school supplies in bulk at a lower price.
