Junior Auxillary to host Back-to-School Bash Aug. 6

Free backpacks, health screenings & more

ralphhardin@gmail.com It’s summer break now, but before you know it, another school year will be upon us, and what better way to get back in to an educational frame of mind than with a “Backto- School Bash?”

The Junior Auxillary of Crittenden County will be hosting the get-together Saturday morning, Aug. 6, from 9 to 11 a.m., at the Boys & Girls Club of Crittenden County, at Worthington Park in West Memphis.

The Bash will offer free backpacks, school supplies, free vision screenings, free hearing screenings, dental hygiene education, developmental screenings, ambulance tours, CPR demonstrations, a bouncy house, games and prizes, and more.

Children must be present and of school age to receive backpacks and school supplies. Limit one backpack per child.
