The Beaufort County School District teamed up with government agencies and private-sector business partners on Saturday, July 27 at Battery Creek High School to hold its “Back-to-School Expo” designed to give students and their families a free day of fun, door prizes, and valuable information about the upcoming 2024-25 school year.
“We are excited to once again kick-off the upcoming school year with this annual event that enables families to gather a lot of practical and helpful information,” Student Services Officer Juliet White, Ph.D., said before the event “District schools are pitching in, district employees are volunteering on a Saturday, and we’re glad to have participation from our business partners, civic groups, and faith-based groups.”
Students and their families who attended experienced:
· Booths operated by district schools that can supply information about school activities.
· Door prizes from local restaurants and businesses.
· Free school supplies for students.
· Free dental and health services provided by Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).
· District Food Services will be available to answer questions about the free and reduced lunch application process, and the district’s food vendor will be present.
· The district’s travelling preschool bus will be on site, and staff will share information with parents.
