Thirty Batavia students have been awarded a Back-to-School Shopping Spree from Target and The Salvation Army.
They are among the more than 12,000 kids nationwide who will each receive an $80 Target GiftCard to buy school supplies.
From 8 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30, the local students will have the opportunity to visit the Batavia Target on Veterans Memorial Drive. They will get to buy backpacks, calculators, pens and pencils, art supplies, binders, clothing and other must-have supplies just in time for back-to-school.
Each child will also be given a reusable Target shopping bag and be paired with a volunteer chaperone for their fun day of shopping.
This is a great thing for
This is a great thing for students! The joy of being able to do the shopping themselves is something that I feel is crucial to children. Great job Salvation Army and Target for helping out our youth!
