Blakeney Shopping Center announces the return of their free summer concert series! The family-friendly concerts will take place every Saturday beginning June 5 through September 4 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Music fans of all ages can relax on the Blakeney Plaza while listening to local favorites.
There will also be an opportunity to give back, as select performances feature a non-profit partnership. Classroom Central will be on-site August 21 and 28 to collect school supplies.
Classroom Central equips students in need to effectively learn by collecting and distributing free school supplies to their teachers. The organization serves teachers and students in nearly 200 schools across six school districts in the Charlotte Region.
Help students overcome pandemic learning loss. CMS reports that 32% of its students failed at least one course, and recent studies show some students have lost over a year of learning due to COVID-19. This upcoming school year is a crucial opportunity to overcome pandemic learning loss. Unfortunately, 54% of CMS students live below the poverty line, which means 1 in every 2 students will be unequipped to catch up to their peers, let alone learn new lessons. But you can make all the difference for a student in need.
Donate to our virtual supply drive to help Classroom Central prepare 127,000 local students for back to school.
