For the fourth year, we will be providing backpacks filled with selected school supplies to Jonathan Alder first and second graders. Using the school supply lists located on the Jonathan Alder School web sites, we chose items that we thought would be most needed by the students.

The backpacks are free. They are our way of thanking the community for continually supporting us. All that is required to obtain a backpack is to have a parent or guardian stop in the pharmacy and sign for the child. There is a limit of one backpack per child. Supplies are limited, so don’t wait!

Please drop by the pharmacy beginning on Tuesday, August 14, to pick up a backpack filled with supplies for your proud student. The smell of crayons will instantly put you and them in the “back-to-school” mood. It did us!

Remember, school starts on Wednesday, August 22, for those in the Jonathan Alder School and Fairbanks School Districts! Can the summer really be over? Sigh.
