For the fifth year, L.A. Care is holding back-to-school health fairs at its six Family Resource Centers (FRC), where backpacks filled with school supplies will be distributed to children. A recent survey of more than 12,000 teachers found that having their own school supplies improves a child’s self-esteem and their attitude toward learning. But the National Retail Federation reports school supplies can cost more than $100 per child. That is simply too much for many families. The Back-to-School Health Fairs will feature many free activities, including health and developmental screenings, haircuts for the kids, a rock climbing wall, face painting, balloon artists and raffles.
