Stuff-the-Bus joins Fredonia annual Back-to-School Night

FREDONIA — For the first time, a yellow school bus with a STUFF THE BUS sign greeted visitors in the parking lot of the Fredonia-Moccasin Unified School District during its annual Back-to-School Night on Monday, Aug. 12.

Parents and other visitors loaded the school bus with boxes and bags filled with school supplies.

Meanwhile, the Coconino Coaltion for Children & Youth joined Coconino County Health & Human Services in providing students with a variety of school supplies, including standard and colored pencils and folders, with Coconino County providing students with a number of backpacks.

We are proud to have Peter Van Wyck serving as President of the Board of Directors and President of the Executive Committee of the Board of the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth.
