Familias locales celebrarán el nuevo año escolar en una feria comunitaria de regreso a clases

Stamford, CT — Building One Community (B1C), The Center for Immigrant Opportunity, will host its Back-to-School Fair on Tuesday, August 18, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Lathon Wider Community Center, 34 Woodland Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902. Sponsored by Bank of America, this year's event expands beyond a backpack distribution into a full, program-based celebration ahead of the new school year.

Las puertas se abren a las 9:30 a. m. con talleres para padres, una feria de recursos y actividades para niños. B1C y otras organizaciones asociadas compartirán información para ayudar a las familias a navegar por el sistema escolar y apoyar la educación de sus hijos. Las organizaciones comunitarias proporcionarán recursos e información adicionales mientras se presentan en la feria, y habrá refrigerios disponibles para los asistentes.

This year's program includes participation from:

• Children's Learning Centers (CLC)
• Escuelas públicas de Stamford (SPS)
• Fundación de Educación Pública de Stamford (SPEF)
• Alimentos Integrales
• TIEMPO

Marissa Muñoz, B1C's Executive Director, habló sobre la próxima feria: “Every child deserves to walk into their first day of school feeling ready and excited. This fair is about more than backpacks — it's about making sure families have what they need to help their kids thrive all year. With Bank of America's support, we're able to give that to more families than ever.”

Fanny Ferreira, B1C's Deputy Director, comentó sobre la importancia de eventos como estos: “This celebration is about connecting families directly with the schools, health resources, and organizations that will support their children throughout the year. Alongside partners like CLC, Stamford Public Schools, and SPEF, families see a whole community standing behind their child's success, not just for one day, but for the year ahead.”
