District staff updated trustees on the recent Back to School Bash held on the ninth. Staff reported the event served over 200 families, distributed 365 pairs of athletic shoes and 371 backpacks, provided 80 haircuts, conducted vision screenings for 44 students and hearing screenings for 28 children, and shared vendor information and referrals to campus nurses for follow-up care.
Speaker 6 said the event drew many vendors and volunteers, and that parents received informational materials and were entered into prize drawings. Board members thanked staff and community partners — including local Lions Club volunteers — for supporting students’ health and readiness for the school year.
No formal board action was required; the presentation served as an informational update and a recognition of community support.
