Take a back-to-school stroll

Elementary and middle school students are invited to take a stroll down Main Street to pick up school supplies at the first annual Back-to-School Stroll from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Beginning at the old train station on Merchants Way, familiyes will receive a tote bag and list of participating locations.

Town Administrator Derek Sullivan said, “It’s almost like a trick-or-treating for school supplies.”

Traveling down the street, students will have access to pens, pencils, erasers, notebooks, earbuds and more.

Sullivan said the goal was to “get something done downtown and to let the kids and their families know that the community is thinking about and reminding them that they’re a part of Wareham community as a whole.”
