From LexBot twenty-four seven, here's a story for families in Lexington. The city is running a school supply donation drive to help middle school students in Fayette County get ready for the upcoming school year. Residents are encouraged to drop off gently used supplies, with the collection running through June twenty-second. Donation sites include the Lexington Election Center, though additional locations may be available through the city. Once collected, the supplies will be distributed to students ahead of the new school year. It's a simple way for the community to pitch in and make sure local kids head back to class with what they need. If you have extra notebooks, folders, or other school supplies sitting around, this is a great chance to put them to good use. That's the latest from LexBot twenty-four seven.
