USV gets ready for school

"I like this one."
They lined up through the hallways, out the door, and into the parking lot on Saturday at USV Schools...and school isn't even in session yet. And, there are no athletic contests this time of year either.

Seems like every child and parent In Alger, McGuffey, and surrounding area was at USV on Saturday for free school supplies.
The Alger First United Methodist Church organized the supply giveaway for every child in the school district, not based on income, for backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks, paper, pencils and pens and much more.
The church receives donations from the Hardin County Foundation, other churches, businesses, and organizations to make it happen. This was the third year for the well-organized event.
Organizers of the event were Cheryl Hurley, Alexis Krummrey and Connie Dyer.
