SALEM — Collins Middle School alum and local business owner Joey Uribe will host a back-to-school drive this Thursday, with community members encouraged to donate items to help students feel confident on their first day of school.
Joey Uribe (Salem High School ’07), who has operated Inkperial Tattoos on Harbor Street in Salem for the past seven years, is inviting the community to support Collins Middle School students through a drive for items that typically would not be included in back-to-school backpacks, but are nonetheless important for students’ social-emotional health.
