ALT Screenshot of a caption from hanif’s instagram, reading: The sitting room has become the storage room for bookbags and books, though not for much longer - the back to school party is this Saturday afternoon and I am beyond thrilled to get to play a part in making this happen once again. I really want to stress that, like last year, this is a community event. Which means, of course, spread the word to parents and educators and young folks in your communities, but also come thru yourself! We've got: POEMS from local high school poets. MUSIC from @joeyaich4 // @domdeshawn // @cellardwellarmusic(!!!) ICE CREAM from the good folks at Johnson's once again. FREE FOOD & LOTS OF IT. FREE BOOKS for students, for teachers, for parents (truly, we got a lotta free books.) and more. So yes, please spread the word and also come on by. I am not a parent, student, or educator and a part of helping to curate this event is to make sure that everyone can come and enjoy and support our young folks.
