Children laughed, parents cheered, and backpacks filled with school supplies found new owners as the V.I. Department of Justice’s Paternity and Child Support Division’s Access and Visitation Program, in partnership with the Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation, hosted two Father’s Initiative Back-to-School Fun Day & School Supply Giveaway events — first at Emile Griffith Park in St. Thomas on July 19, and then at the National Park Ballfield in St. John on July 26.
