First 5 San Bernardino to distribute “Kinder Kits” to area children

First 5 San Bernardino will be offering free “kinder kits” to local families this weekend.

The FREE Back-to-School Kinder Kit event will be held Saturday, August 28, from 10 am – 2 pm, at Ecclesia Christian Fellowship, 1314 E. Date Street in San Bernardino.

“Starting Kindergarten is a very exciting time in a child’s life,” says Karen E. Scott, Executive Director at First 5 San Bernardino. “We know that when children are ready, eager to learn and feel supported, they are much more likely to reach their optimal potential in school and in life.”

First 5’s Kinder Kits include the following:

• scissors
• crayons
• pencils
• glue sticks
• large erasers
• pencil boxes
• books

“Arriving the first day with needed supplies in hand adds to that confidence, and First 5 is pleased to offer these resources to our community,” said Scott.

Supplies are limited to the first 1,000 attendees and registration is required.
