Getting students prepared to go back to school can be stressful. Parents are often handed a long list of items their child needs for certain classes ranging from three ring binders, notebooks, pencils, glue sticks, and the list goes on.
To relief the stress, the Okaloosa Public Schools Foundation, Okaloosa County School District, and the Salvation Army Florida Division are partnering together for their upcoming “Stuff the Bus” event.
