Smile It's Back to School Time

Many schools in and around our community are in need of basic supplies for the many children who have very little.

Publix is once again having a very good sale on the basics; Crayons, pencils, notebooks, etc., and they have drop off boxes at the exits.

Next time you're in Publix, please take a minute, buy a few items and drop them in the box.

Make a child smile on the first day of school.

Thanks,
Gail

Are the school supplies for the schools surrounding the village? I am sure they are not for "The Villages" schools,am I correct?

MVP Athletic Club in Spanish Springs is also sponsoring a school supply drive for children in the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sumter and Marion counties. Any school supply donations are greatly appreciated.

It's a good reminder. Thanks.
