The WSD plans to host the 14th Annual Back to School Fair for district families on Saturday, August 10, from 8-11 am at Liberty High School. The event is intended to get school supplies in the hands of WSD students who need them the most.

The event is FREE for district families and will feature dozens of vendors, free school supplies, games and fun activities for children. At last year's event, we distributed over $10,000 worth of school supplies to WSD students. In addition, MOChip will be on hand to provide free child identification kits.

While the event is free, families are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to Operation Food Search, which serves local families in need. For more information, visit the WSD website: https://bit.ly/WSDBTSFair24.
