Preregistration Set for the Annual Kids Shopping Day: Saturday July 26th
The ninth annual Kids Shopping Day of Lawrence County will be hosting a preregistration at the Central Christian Church Saturday July 26th, beginning at 9:00 A.M. KSD provides Lawrence County PreK through high school aged pupils with classroom supplies and clothing items including tennis shoes, for back-to-school. In August 2013 a total of 627 young people went "shopping" just as summer vacation was coming to an end.
KSD organizers initiated a preregistration process in 2012 to alleviate long lines during the event.
To participate, families register by giving the first name(s) of their child(ren) and clothing size(s.) Adults are then given a time to return to the Central Christian Church on Saturday August 2nd (8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.) to "shop." Families unable to preregister on July 26th can do so on August 2nd.
Each Lawrence County youngster participating in KSD is matched with a personal helper to assist them at the event; pupils browse the selections and choose the clothing items and backpack they want. Youngsters can even get a free haircut. Numerous local hairdressers will volunteer their time again this year to make it possible. Last year over 160 young people walked away with a fresh haircut after attending Kids Shopping Day.
