The resource fair will be in conjunction with the Cedar Ridge Back To School Night event, an opportunity for students (and their families) to find their new classroom, put items in their desks, and organize their lockers. This event is usually very well attended.
The Community Resource Fair is a first-step toward introducing our Cedar Ridge families to the programs and services that your agency has to offer.
Cedar Ridge Elementary has just about 500 students, including a significant number of families whose primary language is Spanish. (about 30%) About 70% of Cedar Ridge children qualify for low-income assistance.
To help families connect with your agency, we suggest you provide handouts, event calendars, and giveaways that encourage family-based participation in agency programs. This event will present an opportunity for you to publicize to the community the services that you offer. There is NO fee to participate. We only ask that your booth be set up by 5pm and that you stay through the end of the evening: 7:30pm.
The Cedar Ridge Promise Council will provide a six foot table, an agency sign, and two chairs. We may be able to provide electricity upon request. Please complete the attached Vendor Reservation Form and fax or email it back by Friday, August 12th. (309) 888-5543 /fax
