Registration now open for school fair

Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson, Dallas ISD Superintendent Dr. Stephanie S. Elizalde and Junior League of Dallas President Tandra Allen announced this week that the 28th Annual Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair will take place on Friday, August 2, at Fair Park in the Automobile Building and Centennial Hall. The fair — hosted by Mayor Johnson — is a collaborative effort between the City of Dallas, Dallas ISD, nonprofits, corporations and community volunteers. Each year, it serves more than 10,000 economically disadvantaged students from Pre-K to Grade 12 and their families. The Junior League of Dallas (JLD) will execute the event and recruit, train and support the more than 500 event volunteers. To receive free school supplies, families must register their students online at mayorsbacktoschoolfair.com. — Anna Clare Payne
