Paula Ciavolino, founder of Just 4 Kids, shared the Mayor's proclamation, declaring November 9th-15th as Just 4 Kids Week. Paula announced that Just 4 Kids prepared 372 backpacks for students to begin school, filled with supplies, clothes and shoes.

Last spring volunteers help 46 with prom attire and 56 prepare for graduation, totaling 1061 students that were supported through the program. 161 students are now participating in an after school art program and there are that many more on waiting lists.
