Back2School Events
Elementary Schools
Each school invites families and students to visit the building, drop off supplies, and kick off the school year!
During our Back2School events, we will be kicking off our Spartans Supporting Spartans initiative for the new school year. Each month, we ask families to donate a specified item to the Spartan Food Pantry. Help us stock the shelves!
