The Hallsville Inter-Church Council is hosting its annual Back to School Bash on Saturday, August 3, from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the Hallsville Fairgrounds. This is a free event open to all Hallsville students and families. Students in attendance can receive free school supplies and enter to win door prizes.

While families are not required to complete the Free & Reduced Meal Application, we encourage all families to apply. In addition to qualifying for free meals, participation rates directly impact our district’s eligibility to receive valuable federal and state funding for staff, equipment, and supplies. Qualified students are also provided with a wide range of benefits such, as discounted or reduced national testing fees, discounted fees on applying for college, and qualifying for scholarships and financial aid.
