Manatee County FAPA Back to School Bash

St. Joseph Church Parish Center (3100 26th St W in Bradenton) 3100 26th St W, Bradenton, FL, USA, FL, United States

Join us to pick up a backpack full of school supplies for children from VPK through High School!  Enjoy lunch and some fun activities with fellow foster and adoptive families after children have selected their favorite backpack and water bottle for the upcoming school year. We are excited to welcome back the Education Team from The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art for fun art activities, The Early Learning Coalition of Manatee's Book Bus as well as some special costumed guests from Costumers with a Cause! We can accommodate up to 100 children per hour of the event, so please be sure to complete one registration for each child in your family (foster, adopted and bio children are all included).  Children not yet in VPK are surely welcome to join you, but you do not need to register them for the event, since they do not yet need school supplies.
