The Wake Forest Police Department will hold its "Too Cool for School" back-to-school event to support local youth ahead of the new school year. According to a recent press release from the department, the event is scheduled for August 20, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at two locations: Taylor Street Park at 416 N. Taylor St. and the Joyner Park Community Center (JPCC) at 701 Harris Road.
These events offer more than just a chance for children to collect free school supplies. At JPCC, police officers will participate in basketball games with the children in attendance. Meanwhile, at Taylor Street Park, officers will interact with youth using the sprayground facilities. These activities aim to build positive connections between local youth and the police department.
The giveaway will include essential school supplies such as pens, pencils, and rulers to help students prepare for the school year, according to an announcement from the Town of Wake Forest. The event is free and open to all.
