A Successful Start: 2025 Back to School Fair

Event Summary

“A Successful Start” is our annual summer campaign designed to build momentum toward the new school year. What started out as annual Back to School Fair in 2020 has now evolved into a summer campaign for families filled with free workshops and community events focused on topics like mental health, physical wellness, and social-emotional development.

The campaign culminates in our Back-to-School Fair, a large-scale resource fair where families receive school supplies and connect with community partners offering essential tools and support for a successful year ahead. Together, these events create a holistic, community-powered launch into the school year.
