(KAIR)--Now that many summer events, such as the 4th of July and Atchison's Amelia Earhart Festival, are in the books for another year, eyes turn to school calendars and the start of a new school year.

Area schools, such as Atchison's USD 409, are preparing for the new school year, with student enrollment already underway.

Area businesses, too, are stocking their shelves for back to school shopping, with students needing supplies as they return to class. For the 10th year, Live Well Atchison County will provide some relief to the pocket book, as the organization conducts its annual Back to School Giveaway.

Planned for Sunday, August 4, at the Atchison Family YMCA, Live Well Executive Director Jeff Schuele tells MSC News, a variety of school supplies will be given away to Atchison County students, grades K-12.

The 90 minute giveaway will run from 11:00 that August 4 morning until 12:30 that afternoon. All items are offered on a first come, first serve basis.

Along with the giveaway, other on-sight opportunities will include dental, physical and mental health assistance, as well as block party games and other features.
