Malia Bennett, 9, accepts a backpack of school supplies from a USO volunteer during "Operation Back to School" hosted Saturday by the USO at the Youth Center. The annual event, held in partnership with Google, DynCorp International, BAE Systems and PH/AMD, is designed to help area youngsters get excited about the new school year as they enjoy fun activities that includes core academic subjects such as reading, math, science, history and art. Children of service members also received backpacks filled with school supplies.
