In early August, thoughts are on the last, hot month of summer and the swimming pools, but with school starting on Aug. 19 this year, Supervisor Dan Storck (D-Mount Vernon) put the school bus wheels in motion with a school supply drive on Saturday, Aug. 3 at a local park.

Nearly 2,400 people attended the event in Lorton and they handed out nearly 700 backpacks and supplies. It was made possible by support from the Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services, School Board Member Mateo Dunne and the Lorton Community Action Center.
