Mayor Dana Ralph described the annual school supply drop-off at Kent Meridian High School, saying city employees have traditionally collected supplies and this year the drive was opened to the broader community.
"Every year, city employees get together, donate school supplies. This year, we opened it up to the broader community," Ralph said, and she emphasized that students through high school need supplies and that costs have risen, noting "if you've been out to buy school supplies lately, you know that they are extremely expensive."
