Parents and guardians across communities in St George recently received some much needed assistance in obtaining back to school supplies for their children ahead of the start of the new school year.

With school scheduled to commence for students on September 18, the Lower Estate Gracious Givers recently presented books, stationery and other necessary school supplies to children from that immediate community, as well as surrounding areas.

According to Roger Craigg, Coordinator of the Back to School Supply Drive, “The Lower Estate Gracious Givers were able to execute a very successful distribution of our annual back to school supplies, to our usual communities of Lower Estate, Salters, Parish Land and Airy Hill in St. George on Saturday 26th of August 2023.
