Staten Island This Friday: Back-To-School Supply Giveaway, Plus Basketball Clinic With NY Knicks! Bring Your Kids For An Exciting Day

Editor’s note: Coming up soon will be the Materials for the Arts’ annual back-to-school supplies for teachers initiative, which usually begins sometime in September.  Teachers at any school and for every grade level are welcome at the MFTA warehouse to choose supplies for their classes to spark unbridled creativity in their students – where their creativity is not bounded by a lack of supplies but by their own imaginations.  This is the announcement for last year’s event.  Councilmember Hanks also held this same back-to-school supply giveaway last year.
