South Bend Community School Corporation hosts Back-to-School Bash for families

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - The South Bend Community School Corporation hosted its annual Back-to-School Bash for students and their families on Saturday, and this year was extra special.

That’s because it was the first opportunity for students to get their clear backpacks for the upcoming school year. Students in South Bend schools are required to use clear backpacks starting this year.

SBCSC used the fun annual event — which featured vendors, bounce houses, food, and more — to remind families of what would be expected for the school year, helping to make the students’ first day back go smoothly.

“Everyone’s having a great time, said SBCSC Superintendent Dr. Todd Cummings. “With our vendors, and the department of health is here with shots, and we have haircuts here. Everyone always has a great time. It’s one of our favorite events.”

If you weren’t able to attend the Back-to-School Bash, there will be other chances to grab their backpacks and school supplies before the first day.
