Sixth District Representative Myron Walwyn has announced his annual back-to-school supply giveaway scheduled for September 1, 2026.

Opposition member and Sixth District Representative Myron Walwyn has announced the return of his annual back-to-school giveaway, aimed at assisting students and families across District Six ahead of the upcoming academic term. The distribution event is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, on the grounds of the Sixth District Office.
During the event, students will receive school bags fully stocked with essential supplies needed to start the new school year prepared and confident. Walwyn announced the initiative through a video message shared on Facebook, delivering the details alongside a Spanish translator. The bilingual presentation highlights an intentional effort to reach the diverse resident base within the district, ensuring that non-English speaking families are informed and able to benefit from the community support program.
Preparing children for a new school year often presents significant financial challenges for households across the Virgin Islands, with expenses mounting for uniforms, books, stationery, and technology. Community initiatives such as district giveaways provide meaningful relief to parents and guardians working to balance these seasonal household costs.
Walwyn encouraged all eligible families throughout District Six to take full advantage of the giveaway as young scholars get ready to return to the classroom. The annual initiative forms part of ongoing community outreach efforts within the district to promote education and youth development.
