The annual Back to School Bash is happening today, Thursday, July 16, from 4 until 6 p.m. at Chattooga High School.

Coordinator Maisha Ludy says organizers are ready to welcome students and families for an afternoon of free activities, food and back-to-school resources.

Students attending the event can receive free backpacks and school supplies. Free hot dogs and shaved ice will also be available, along with music provided by DJ Marty Mar.

Four local barbers will offer free simple haircuts, while Primary Health Care will provide school-required Form 3300 paperwork. High for Sight will also offer free vision screenings for children ages 8 through 18.

Organizers emphasize that children must be present to receive a backpack and school supplies.
