NWLSD Health and Safety Fair

August 9, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Northwest Local School District will be hosting our Annual Back To School Health and Safety FAIR at Northgate Mall on August 9, 2023  from 9 am-12 pm.  This is an event where we get to connect with our families and offer them some of the most needed services in preparation for school including free haircuts, dental screenings, physicals, and a plethora of other services.  In the past, we have had over 800 families participate and the event continues to grow every year.  We are looking for organizations to join us in serving our community and there are a number of ways that organizations and individuals can help to fill the needs we have:

 

  1. School Supplies:  If you or your organization would be willing to donate/collect supplies for our students, we would love to partner with you. This year, our goal is to collect a total of 700 backpacks filled with school supplies. We will distribute some of the backpacks stuffed with back to school essentials to our students in attendance at the Health and Safety Fair. The remaining backpacks will be given directly to identified students in need throughout the school year at each school. We have created an Amazon wish list link for anyone interested in purchasing online. Our wish list contains pre-stuffed backpacks and raffle baskets/items for ease of selection. The items would ship directly to our District Office where our committee would prepare the bags for distribution.  We recognize many of our community members still prefer to donate items in person, and that’s okay too. Donations can be received Monday through Friday from 8am to 3:30 pm except holidays, at our District Office location: 3240 Banning Road, 45239.

 
We are looking for:
  • 25 organizations who are willing to donate the 24 pack pre stuffed bookbags identified on the Amazon Wish List
  • 25 organizations who are willing to donate the 24 pack water bottles for the bookbags identified on the Amazon Wish List
  • 25 organizations who are willing to donate the 24 pack crayola crayons for the bookbags identified on the Amazon Wish List
  • Raffle items identified on the Amazon Wish List
