What to expect
The Educational Resource Street Fair is a social network of people helping parents, grandparents, caregivers and extended family members prepare their children for school.
Students can register for ERSF online or on-site. After registration, a passport is issued on-site to each student. The passport allows the student to receive information and stamps from various booths; after receiving five passport stamps the student can pick up books, backpacks, rain jackets and school supplies (while they last).
The street fair brings together people with common interests from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, ages and socioeconomic levels into a community relationship filled with people, food, music, culture, tools and resources available in the community. Everyone participating in ERSF is engaged in building a healthy community that thrives and supports vulnerable children, youth and low-wage families.
Register for the fair
To earn free school supplies students must be present and registered for the fair. Please bring your student ID and—if you registered online—confirmation number to the registration booth on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to pick up your student passport. If you have your online registration confirmation number you can use the express line to speed through the process.

Foundation for Early Learning
Foundation for Early Learning and many of its partner organizations participated in the 2009 Educational Resource Street Fair, hosting the early learning section of the Fair and providing early learning tools, resources, and services to families and children birth to five. Early learning partners benefited greatly from the experience. The Fair provided an opportunity to conduct outreach and connect with many families. Participants learned about where to find low cost and free preschool and dental care, how to sign up for library cards and access other library services, get involved in local advocacy efforts, connect with kinship care providers, and easy, simple ways to prepare children for kindergarten.
