Laura Batson/Credit: USD 409
(KAIR)--The 11th annual distribution of school supplies, including backpacks this past weekend, is celebrated as a success.
As the event was again hosted by Live Well Atchison County, and supported through their partners including the Atchison Y where the distribution was again held, new Superintendent for the Atchison Public Schools of USD 409, Laura Batson, was in attendance for her first time. "What a great contribution that they gave to our kids and our community," Batson told MSC Radio News, adding, "the line [to collect back to school items] went all the way around the Y...it was great!"
Batson confirms what Live Well Atchison County Executive Director Jeff Schuele earlier told MSC News: additional supplies have been delivered to Atchison County-area schools for those who could not attend Sunday- giveaway.
Batson officially began her role as Atchison USD 409 Superintendent just last month on July 1.
