Back To School In Rockville: Party, School Supplies Collection

ROCKVILLE, MD — The City of Rockville is holding its first annual Back to School Jam Friday, Aug. 24. The fun, free party will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Lincoln Park Community Center, according to the City of Rockville.

Enjoy the party featuring a DJ, prizes, food, drinks and more. Representatives from local schools will be there too, available to chat.

This is also a great opportunity to get some school supplies. Each Rockville family (with proof of address or school enrollment) can buy up to four backpacks filled with school supplies for only $2.

The supplies are so cheap because from Aug. 15 to 22, the city is accepting donations of new school supplies. They're interested in getting pens, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, paper and folders, and you can drop them off at any one of several collection boxes around the city:

• Rockville City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave.
• Lincoln Park Community Center, 357 Frederick Ave.
• Thomas Farm Community Center, 700 Fallsgrove Drive.
• Twinbrook Community Recreation Center, 12920 Twinbrook Parkway.
• Rockville Swim and Fitness Center, 355 Martins Lane.
• Rockville Senior Center, 1150 Carnation Drive.

For more details, you can call lpcc@rockvillemd.gov, visit the Rockville website or call 240-314-8780.

The event is sponsored by Rockville Housing Enterprises, Linkages to Learning and the City of Rockville.
