Local organizations, businesses, nonprofits, and school districts came together to offer a wide array of free resources and services, including free school supplies for K-12 students, vision checks, dental screenings, haircuts, and information booths for school enrollment, extracurricular activities, and mental health support.
“San Antonio is a city rich with people and organizations who care deeply about our students, families, and educators,” said Patricia Mejia, Chief Impact Officer at SS&E. “Back to School Bash is a reflection of what’s possible when a community comes together to lift each other up. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in helping our young people thrive.”
