Rep. Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz is helping kids prepare for the classroom.<\/p>\n
The Reading Democrat will host a back-to-school resource fair Sunday at the Masonic Lodge in West Reading from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event was originally planned to be held at her district office on Penn Avenue but the location has been changed due to possible inclement weather.<\/p>\n
Her office will provide students with free backpacks and school supplies.<\/p>\n
In addition to the school supplies, the event will offer the opportunity for kids to get a free haircut.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccess to a good education is crucial for our children to succeed, but the prospect of having to buy supplies can be daunting for many families,\u201d Cepeda-Freytiz said. \u201cThis event will provide a great opportunity for children across our community to get the school supplies they need without the risk of financial burden.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event is open to all families with school-aged children. The 129th Legislative District, which Cepeda-Freytiz represents, includes northwest Reading, parts of Spring Township, and the boroughs of Sinking Spring, West Reading and Wyomissing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rep.
