(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- Commissioner Dennis C. Moss will provide book bags and school supplies to approximately 1,000 south Miami-Dade children on August 23 as they prepare for the first day of the 2003-04 school year.  The donations are part of Commissioner Moss’ Second Annual District 9 “Back to School Book Bag Giveaway,” which will be held at the Commissioner’s South District office in Florida City.

Commissioner Moss has worked in cooperation with local, non-profit social service agencies to identify children from moderate- and low-income families between ages 5 to 17 registered in Dade County Public Schools who will receive the free book bags.
