KNOXVILLE, Tenn. ( WATE ) — The sixth annual SchoolMania event hosted by Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs is happening Friday at the Jacob Building in Chilhowee Park.
Volunteers were packing bags of school supplies earlier this week. A news release shared Wednesday states that this year’s SchoolMania will be the biggest one yet, with 6,500 bags of school supplies assembled, which is about 4,000 bags more than last year. Each bag contains more than $60 worth of school supplies thanks to donations.
