Four-year-old Alyssa Padro and her dad, Staff Sgt. Carlos Padro, get a free book bag and school supplies from Airman 1st Class Lauren Davidson, a student volunteer from the 334th Training Squadron, at a back-to-school bash, Aug. 5 in marina park. Sergeant Padro is assigned to the 81st Civil Engineer Squadron, and his wife, Michell, works at the child development center. About 200 book bags were distributed. The event featured food, drinks and a variety of activities. The chapel sponsored the event, with support from the airman and family readiness center, drug demand reduction office and outdoor recreation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
