NORTH TULSA BACK 2 SCHOOL DRIVE-TRHU EVENT
Once again the North Tulsa Economic Development Initiative (NTEDi) is helping families prepare for back-to-school by distributing school supplies – including headphones to assist with digital learning – with a special drive-thru event. Hosted on Aug. 14, 2021, from 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., the 17th annual North Tulsa Back 2 School Parent/Community Enrichment event takes place in the parking lot of Pine Premier Child Care, 518 E. Pine Street, Tulsa.
Co-sponsored by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, Tulsa Public Schools, and Pine Premier Child Care, the event focuses on providing educational information and building strong partnerships with parents, stakeholders and concerned citizens.
“We will host this as a drive-thru event to minimize contact and make this a safe event as far as social distancing,” said Dr. Lana Turner-Addison, president of the North Tulsa Economic Development Initiative. “This North Tulsa tradition may look a little different, but it’s still a great opportunity for parents, teachers and the community to become engaged in the education of our children. We look forward to helping our students and families prepare for the 2021-22 school year.”
In addition to providing traditional school supplies like spiral notebooks and pencils, back-to-school items this year will also include facemasks and headphones. “We recognize that many students will benefit from having headphones as they complete their homework, which will allow them to remain focused on learning,” said Turner-Addison. “Headphones will help limit the distractions if they have siblings or other family members at home while they are engaged in schoolwork.”
Parents are urged to call ahead at 918-534-6884 and reserve back-to-school supplies for their children.
NTEDi continues to accept sponsorships of the North Tulsa Back 2 School Parent/Community Enrichment event. Please contact NTEDi at lturner_ntedi@aol.com or call 918-534-6884 for sponsorship information.
Our goal is to continually provide educational information and build strong partnerships with parents, stakeholders and concerned citizens supporting the McLain feeder pattern schools. The “Back 2 School” event provides an avenue for bringing the community together to receive and discuss information regarding Tulsa Public Schools offerings and educational enrichment services provided by our community schools.
Honoring our ancestor who lost their homes, business, community and/or their life during the 1921 Massacre.
