Virtual back to school drive seeks community support

Even back to school drives are happening virtually this year.

18 years old ... and four deaths.

Teachers say they want to get back to the classroom, but they want to do it safely.

Even back to school "supply" drives are happening virtually this year.

In bleckley county, state farm agent lindsey dykes is asking the community to support community in schools of cochran /bleckley county.

From now until the end of the month, you can purchase a back to school kit for as little as five dollars.

And to keep things socially distant, items purchased go straight to the school system.

"you would be surprised how many kids don't have the supplies for school.

I think having things like that, even something as simple as a bookbag or a notebook just helps get those kids in the position for success.

The littlest things like that make the biggest impact on their education."
