Send a child back to school with pride! KXXO Mixx 96.1 will be broadcasting LIVE collecting funds and supplies for the Little Red Schoolhouse Project Friday, August 8, 2025 online, by phone at 360-943-9696, or in-person at KXXO, 119 Washington St. NE, downtown Olympia.
Imagine having to choose between buying food and clothes or a backpack, crayons, and scissors for your child! Each year, many parents look at the “Back to School” banners with dread as they face exactly these choices. The average cost of school supplies per child has grown to over $75 per child, too much if you’re already struggling to pay for rent, gas, and medical expenses! The Little Red Schoolhouse Project was founded in response to this need. Their goal is to see every child start school with basic school supplies and a backpack.
