From the press release (with slight edits):
The City of Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services' Early Childhood Education Committee is teaming up with the Long Beach Unified School District to host the last of three Kindergarten Festivals from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at Colin Powell School, 150 Victoria St., Long Beach. The festivals provide parents with information about early childhood education, kindergarten readiness and the school registration process.
The festival will also provide free immunizations for children by the Health Department's Nursing Services Division in cooperation with Nursing Students from California State Long Beach. The immunizations are grant-funded.
The festival will feature three workshops that focus on school readiness, reading and math. Each incoming kindergartener in attendance will receive a free backpack filled with school supplies. Translation services in Spanish and Khmer will be provided, along with community resources for families.
