JeffCo Schools Superintendent Jason Glass stopped by the Action Center on Tuesday.

"It's really heartening to see the community come together for the kids and see them go through here asking the kids, 'What do you need?' Here, we'll add this to your backpack' and make sure every kid walks out here with exactly what they need," said Glass.
