Kick off the school year with Commissioner Vice President Amanda M. Stewart, M.Ed. (District 3) at her third annual “Back-to-School” Community Fiesta on Saturday, August 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Mattawoman Middle School. All ages are invited to attend. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
“The Community Fiesta is a great opportunity for students to have fun while learning,” Stewart said. “I encourage students to invite their friends and family, and join me as we kick start the new school year.”
The “Back to School” Community Fiesta will focus on saying no to bullying, drugs, and texting and driving. During the event, children will have the opportunity to sign pledges to “say no.” Several learning opportunities will be available, including self-defense and hands-on CPR demonstrations, and testimonies on bullying. Non-profits, local businesses, and state agencies will provide safety and health information and resources for parents.
Participants will have the opportunity to make a craft and meet several local mascots. Raffles, giveaways, and light refreshments will be available. Remember to arrive early, as the first 200 children present will receive a backpack.
