Back to School America bash gets kids in the scholastic spirit in Edgewater
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Sliding into another school year with a back-to-school bash at Swift School in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood.
Wednesday's event was hosted by the Chicago non-profit Back 2 School America.
This year, they'll hand out more than 8,000 back-to-school kits to students and families in need.
Those kits also included a little surprise: A "note of inspiration" handwritten by volunteers with the message that someone is rooting for each student's success.
