Back To School Drive for Mt. Vernon Students

Two Local Businesses Pitch In To Help MV Students

As the summer break comes to a close and the anticipation of a new school year builds, the Mt. Vernon Education Foundation is excited to announce the Mt. Vernon Community Schools Back-to-School Supply Drive. Beginning July 30th and running through August 9th, this initiative aims to ensure that all students have the essential supplies they need for a successful start to the academic year.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to two local business owners who are spearheading this back-to-school supply drive, Sweet Beginnings Childcare, and Coffee at the Crossing, for their invaluable support in making this supply drive possible. Their dedication to our student’s education is truly commendable in the spirit of giving back to their MV community.

MVEF Education Director, Renee Oldham shared her gratitude, stating, “We are incredibly grateful for the support from Sweet Beginnings and Coffee at the Crossing and individuals who come together to ensure our students have the resources they need to succeed.” Thank you Ja’Nene and Jenny!
