The County has provided a grant to help with the Smart Sacks book program and the Educational Backpack back-to-school program which are run by Sue Kiefer and Wesley Church. Backpacks will contain age appropriate reading books and school supplies.
“The pandemic has been challenging for everyone, but especially for school children and their families,” says Lamont McClure. “The County of Northampton is proud to support Smart Sacks and the Educational Backpack programs for the assistance they offer our K-12 students.”
