While students are enjoying their summer snow cones, day camps and playing in the parks, teachers and parents are already thinking and planning for Back to School. Several organizations around the county and beyond are planning great events and giveaways and they all want to help serve the kiddos in the Robertson County area by giving them, and their guardians, a little leg up. The Community Resource Center of Robertson County will have their third annual Health Fair and Back To School event on August 1. Each year, groups from the local area come out and bring all kinds of fun school supplies and other freebies to hand out to kids and guardians. This year over 30 local organizations have already signed on to be at the annual event that will serve free hot dogs, chips and water to all attendees, while supplies last. The event has expanded, so this year it will be held from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Hearne Elementary School cafeteria. The CRCRC will be passing out mesh backpacks for the kiddos to fill with all of their goodies, too. Men Making Moves is an organization in Navasota, but they regularly come to Robertson County to work with A Reason to Dream and other local youth organizations. They want to welcome all kiddos from Robertson County to attend their annual Back to School Giveaway this August 10, beginning at 10:00 am. For those who make it out to the Navasota High School, each student will receive a backpack filled with school supplies along with other great items kiddos need. Socks, deodorant, dental floss toothpaste and toothbrushes are just some of the great items found in each backpack. Only children will be given a backpack, so guardians and parents whose children may not be able to attend, can contact Men Making Moves on their social media sites to find out how they might be able to participate in other ways. Even locals who just want to do a good thing are getting in on the action. A recent call from local, Priscilla Maxine, has started the ball rolling for a giveaway in Gause. Maxine is organizing a Back to school Bash on August 17 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Wellspring Community Church in Gause Texas on Hwy 79. She will be giving away 100 backpacks with supplies and she has also invited a Christian Artist in from Houston Texas, CJ Santiago to perform. She and other volunteers will feed the children and also have door prize giveaways along with the backpacks. Children from Franklin, Calvert, Hearne Guase, and Cameron are all invited to attend. She is looking for items to give away as door prizes, help with expenses, or supplies. They also want to put any sponsors on the flyers that will be passed out at local churches, so if any local businesses or churches are interested in helping, please contact Ms. Maxine. So far the Wellspring Community Church Gause, Secret Place of Worship Franklin, Gen Rev Cycles of Hearne, The Church at Five Points, Fred Mendez and Tommy Chapa have all donated items and Ms. Maxine thanks them for their support.
