Back To School: Denver Police To Give Out Free School Supplies
DENVER (CBS4) - The Denver Police Department will hand out backpacks filled with school supplies to make sure students are prepared for the upcoming school year. The Denver Police Back to School Caravan will be at four locations throughout the city on Saturday, Aug. 8.
Organizers say registration nor qualifications are required, but supplies will go fast. They hope students will have what they need to successfully start the school year, even if they are not attending classes in-person.
"This is another touch-point opportunity that we can reduce the barriers to kid learning. Whether or not that's in a virtual environment or in person, we want to make sure that the students have everything that they need in order to be successful," said Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen.
Families are asked to practice social distancing and wear masks.
