First United Presbyterian Church of Wyoming helped families with children in kindergarten through first grade get ready for the new school year with a free, outdoor Back-to-School Fair.
Local organizations provided useful information to families about health and available services. There also was a book swap, children’s clothing, yoga for kids, healthy snacks and giveaways.
Check out our gallery from the event, featuring images by Sean McKeag, staff photographer.
