Dora’s annual Back to School Fair is set for Saturday, August 15, offering families a wide range of free resources as students prepare for the new year. The event runs from 8 a.m. to noon in the school cafeteria and will feature free clothing, shoes, backpacks, hygiene kits, haircuts, and more. According to the flyer, “All needed school supplies for pre‑K thru 8th grade will be provided directly to the school again this year,” courtesy of Back to School Basics. Paper, pens, and pencils are also being donated to high school classrooms.
Community members wishing to contribute gently used clothing can contact Teri at 417‑712‑1027 or Shanna at 417‑293‑7471. Back to School Basics operates as a not‑for‑profit organization, making all monetary donations tax‑deductible. The fair aims to ensure every student in Dora starts the school year equipped and supported.
