Good morning, Kent.

The Crestwood School District has launched its third annual supply drive for the community pep rally set for Aug.

17 at Jack Lambert Stadium in Mantua, collecting gently used and new school supplies from July 17 until Aug. 14. The drive also accepts monetary donations to purchase missing items and is supported by churches, local vendors, and organizations like the Parent-Teacher's Organization—together they help ensure students have the essentials for the new school year.

Portage County Health District said on July 31 that 10 mosquito pools tested positive for West Nile virus—seven in Kent and three in Hiram, Streetsboro, and Suffield—and urged residents to use EPA-registered repellents and wear long sleeves and pants as warm weather and recent rain have boosted mosquito breeding.
