‘It takes a village’ is the sentiment from Jackson County Public Schools and the Jackson County Recreation Department, as they join forces to host the first-ever Back to School Bash. The family-focused event will have activities for the kids and items will be given to students and families free of charge, including book-bags, school supplies, sports physicals, haircuts, clothing, immunizations and school information. The community effort will culminate in the free ‘Back to School’ giveaways this Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Cullowhee Recreation Center. BTW, there will be free transportation to the event from and to Smokey Mountain Elementary and Blue Ridge School.
