Dear Neighbors,
As we bid farewell to the lazy days of summer, I hope this August newsletter finds you in high spirits and filled with excitement for the upcoming school year.
On behalf of the Ward 6 Team, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your enthusiastic participation and generous contributions to our recent Splash Back to School & School Supply Drive! Thanks to your support, the event was a tremendous success! Kids and their families enjoyed the fun raffle prizes and new bikes that we gave away. Education is the key to a brighter future for our children and your contributions will help ensure that students have access to the resources they need for academic success in the classroom.
