The Annual Back to School Fair at The Church of the Guardian Angel, August 25, 2012, started drawing neighborhood parents well before its 10:00 am opening.
GRIA member, Betsy Childs (center) helped organize the event. The Fair was open to the entire community, and many neighbors enjoyed the festivities.
Backpacks filled with pens, pencils, composition books and dictionaries were distributed to Remington children.
Pastor Alice and volunteers sorted the bags according to gender and age. The Greater Remington Improvement Association and The Church of the Guardian Angel partnered to ensure adequate school supplies were available for Remington children.
Johns Hopkins University volunteers participated in the Fair and distributed information regarding the University's effort in the community.
A young volunteer distributed the free hot dogs and drinks, while local musicians performed in front of the Church.
The Fair also included free haircuts and a nail salon so the kids could look good for the first day of school.
