Bellingham Public Schools will host the annual Back-to-School Family Block Party, a resource fair for all district families, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23. The event will take place at Bellingham High School, located at 2020 Cornwall Avenue.

School and community partner tables will provide important resources for starting the school year. The community event will include signups for Operation School Bell, a program of the Assistance League of Bellingham that provides new school clothes for eligible families.

Hoagland Pharmacy will run an onsite vaccine clinic during the event. If you plan to have your children receive vaccinations at the Block Party, please fill out this online form so Hoagland is prepared with the correct number and type of immunizations.

There will also be first come, first served sports physicals (grades 6 to 12) and haircuts (all grades),  as well as snacks, entertainment, and fun for the whole family.

Thank you to the Bellingham Public Schools Foundation, the Project Neighborly Fund of the Whatcom Community Foundation, BECU, Molina Healthcare and PeaceHealth for financial support of this back-to-school readiness event.

We look forward to seeing you and your children there!
