Kingfisher, Cashion, Okarche, Dover, Hennessey and Lomega students all headed back to class Thursday. With the help of local business, organization, church and individual donors, Kingfisher Community Collaborative worked to make sure that students started the year with a backpack fully stocked with school supplies. Collaborative Chairman Brittney Hladik, left, and co-chairman Blair Coughlan organize some of the backpacks filled last week by KCC volunteers and a local church. “We appreciate everyone who helps make this annual program a success, including local schools for helping us distribute applications to qualifying families,” Hladik
