About this Event

Back to School Community Day 2026 - Book Bag Drive

Join us for an afternoon of community, connection, and giving back as we help local students prepare for a successful school year!

Our Back to School Community Day was created with one goal in mind: to support students and families by providing essential school supplies while bringing our community together in a fun, welcoming environment.

Whether you're a parent, student, educator, community member, or someone who simply wants to support a great cause, we would love to have you join us!

Teachers and school staff are especially welcome as valued members of our community who play an important role in shaping and supporting our children’s success.
