This Saturday, Solomon’s Super Center is helping parents and students get in gear for back-to-school with a trade show and community outreach initiative. Beginning at noon, more than 15 clubs and afterschool programs will showcase activities for students heading into the fall semester.
Vendors will also be on hand sampling healthy snack options to fill lunchboxes and offering tips for hair, skin and dental care.
During the event, shoppers will have a chance to support the AIDS Foundation of The Bahamas’ After School Program by donating new uniforms, clothing, school supplies and food to the non-profit initiative spearheaded by the Zonta Club of Nassau.
“It’s already August and before we know it, our children will be back-to-school. Each year, we put on the trade show to help parents plan for the upcoming semester.
It’s a way for them to find reputable afterschool activities for their kids.
We also use it as an opportunity to extend savings during a time when most parents are looking to stretch their dollars,” said event organizer and Solomon’s brand manager Monalisa Sweeting.
“As always, we are excited to team up with the Zonta Club of Nassau for the uniform and supply drive to assist the AIDS Foundation of The Bahamas’ After School Program.
This is our third year partnering with them to provide much-needed supplies for the students who benefit from this program and we hope that our customers will extend the same generosity this year as they have in the past.”
On Saturday, sports clubs from judo, soccer, track and field and swimming will be showcasing their organizations. Dance and musical instructors as well as bilingual instructors will be on hand to share information on their afterschool and weekend programs.
Representatives from the Governor General’s Youth Award (GGYA) are also expected to attend to answer questions about the character-building program.
Health and wellness nutritionists are set to offer tips for staying fit and incorporating a well-balanced diet throughout the school year.
Learning and development coaches will also be available to share information on setting up successful study habits.
Shoppers can enter to win a free club membership, certificates and giveaways from participating vendors.
The trade show will take place at Solomon’s Super Center Nassau on the East West Highway on Saturday August 26th from 12 p.m.- 4 p.m. Residents in Grand Bahama can also participate at a similar event being held at Solomon’s Freeport on Queen’s Highway.
