The Webster Parish School Board (WPSB) will hold its annual Pack the Bus event on Friday, July 26 from 4 PM to 8 PM in Minden and on Saturday, July 27 from 8 AM to noon in Springhill. Both events will take place in the Walmart parking lots in these cities.
The proceeds from this event are used to ensure that every student in Webster Parish is equipped with the necessary supplies for the upcoming school year. “Our donations are not coming in quite like they usually do, but we’re not worried. We know our kids are going to have what they need,” said Community Liaison Ursula Hullaby.
Supplies, uniforms, street clothes, and more will be distributed during the upcoming Back to School Bash on Sunday, August 4 from 3 PM to 6 PM. The Minden Bash will be held at Webster Jr High School, and the Springhill Bash will be held at the CAC Building.
For more information on this event or to donate, contact Mrs. Hullaby at (318) 377-7052. The new school year is scheduled to begin on August 9.
