The Beaufort County School District is teaming up with government agencies and private-sector business partners to hold its “Back-to-School Expo” designed to give students and their families a free day of fun, door prizes, and valuable information about the upcoming 2023-24 school year.
This year’s Expo is set for Saturday, July 29, at Beaufort High School, located at 84 Sea Island Pkwy in Beaufort. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“We are excited to kick-off the school year with this annual event that enables families to gather a lot of practical and helpful information,” said Student Services Officer Juliet White, Ph.D. “District schools are pitching in, district employees are volunteering on a Saturday, and we’re glad to have participation from our business partners, civic groups and faith-based groups.”
Students and their families are encouraged to attend the events, which will feature:
- Booths operated by district schools that can supply information about school activities.
- Door prizes from local restaurants and businesses.
- Free school supplies for students.
- Free dental and health services provided by Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).
- District Food Services will be available to answer questions about the free and reduced lunch application process, and the district’s food vendor will be present.
- The district’s travelling preschool bus will be on site, and staff will share information with parents.
