WHAT – Nassau County Legislature Legislator Seth I. Koslow (D – Merrick) is partnering with the Freeport Memorial Library, Merrick Library and North Merrick Public Library to host a back-to-school supply drive to ensure local students have everything they need for a strong start to the 2024-25 school year.
Now through Friday, Aug. 23 during regular business hours at each of those locations, donors can drop off needed school supplies, including but not limited to backpacks, folders, spiral and marble notebooks, looseleaf paper, binders, tabbed subject dividers, pencil cases and sharpeners, pens, pencils (colored and No. 2), highlighters, erasers, markers, glue sticks, lunchboxes, index cards, rulers, safety scissors and more.
“As a father of young children who will soon be returning to school, I know how important it is for students to have everything they need to excel and how the cost of supplies can be a tremendous burden on family budgets,” Legislator Koslow said. “That is why I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with the Freeport, Merrick and North Merrick Libraries to host this school supply drive and do our part to ensure every student starts the school year confidently and prepared to reach their full potential.”
For additional information, contact Legislator Koslow’s office at 516-571-6205 or skoslow@nassaucountyny.gov.
