Back to School! Rocky Point Weekend Rundown!

Sponsored this week by La Cantina @ Sonoran Sky

It’s the final sprint! Some area schools went back into the classroom this past week, with most uniforms and books ready to hit the streets come Monday, Aug. 21st. Please watch for early morning traffic around area schools, plus rushed folks taking their little ones to and fro! In the meantime, enjoy these last few weeks of humidity as we march towards September and Mexican Independence Day!  Let’s take a peek at what’s coming up!

This Week!

School Supply Drives

    • AIM Peñasco, A.C. – This local organization will be supporting more than 100 students this next school year . For more information, contact Kathleen Duncan and/or check out their Amazon Wish List     Link to Amazon Acct: http://a.co/iuxNWt4
    • ECO-Recycling Club – got any 2nd hand school supplies that are still in good condition (backpacks, notebooks with clean pages, pens, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, etc.)? Principal request: BACKPACKS! They can still be put into perfect use in putting together school packets for local kiddos.  Drop off spot: Municipal Office on Ecology and Sustainable Development (entrance in back of City Hall)
    • Adopt a Classroom. Not even heart surgery could keep Barb O. down in her efforts to supply local schools with material.  For more information on the Adopt-a-Classroom year round effort, please contact Barb (or Mark) O. rpbarbo@gmail.com  638 114 2406.
