Augusta families celebrate end of school year with block party
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Families gathered at the Augusta Common Saturday to celebrate the end of the school year with a block party featuring food, music, family activities and giveaways.
The event included giveaways of laptops and bikes for kids.
James Riles, a retired business owner who organized the event, said the celebration is something kids look forward to.
“We are going to give them bicycles, we are going to give them computers, and we are going to give them summer care, and we are going to give them different other prizes because we want them to stay in school and we want to do something positive,” Riles said.
Riles said he has been hosting the event for more than 30 years.
