The Hooray Day Committee is pleased to announce that the 7th Annual "Hooray! It's Back to School Day!" event will be hosted on Thursday, August 21st at the Firth Youth Center🥳
Along with backpacks and school supplies, haircuts and hair braiding will continue this year so kids can LOOK and FEEL prepared as they embark on a new School Year!📓🖍✂️✏️
We anticipate serving even more youth this year and would appreciate if our FYC Faithful would consider helping sustain this much-needed community event by donating supplies! Donations are being collected at Rupell Funeral Home and at the Firth Youth Center. We will accept donations from any store or you can ship directly from our Amazon Wish List here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/38SFRTXUTUO38. Items we are looking for include pens, pencils, binders, college-ruled notebooks, etc.
ALL contributions are GREATLY appreciated!
Special thanks to St. Luke's Episcopal Church and Old Greenwich Presbyterian Church who will be providing the backpacks for this year's event! Also, big applause to the Kiwanis Club of Phillipsburg for already offering to organize a supply drive for all the folders! This event wouldn't be possible without community partners stepping up to support our youth. 💙
Speaking of community partners... a big thank you to McWane Ductile, our Committee Members (Joan, Hope, Latiesha, and Mother Ann), Norwescap Traditions Family Success Center, Rupell Funeral Home, LLC, and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church for the sponsorships and incredible behind-the-scenes work to get this event off the ground for the 7th consecutive year. ☺️
New this year: Registration will be open for a two-week period from 7/28 - 8/11 at 4PM. Mark your calendars for 7/28 to book your child's spot online!
