The Huntsville Public Library will host a community-wide Back-to-School Bash on Wednesday, August 20, where
local youth will have a chance to pick up free school supplies, get vision and dental check-ups and potentially
receive vaccinations.
The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will include representatives from the Huntsville-Family YMCA,
the Boys and Girls Club of Walker County, the Huntsville Police and Fire Departments and other local
organizations.
According to Janelle Valera, Children's Coordinator, the event was attended by over 300 students in 2013, and
this year's event is expected to draw even more participation.

"The Back-to-School Bash is a chance for local non-profit organizations that focus on children to highlight their
services for the coming year,"Valera said. "Texas Children's Health Plan provides the funding for school supplies
and backpacks to hand out while supplies last, and last year we handed out over 300 sets.
"Kids and parents can have fun at various activity booths, educate themselves on health and nutrition; receive free
dental and vision screenings and much more!"
Families are asked to bring a report card or other proof of enrollment to receive materials. The event is also
sponsored by the Huntsville Public Library Friends.
For more information, contact the Library at (936) 291-5472 or Valera at (936) 291-5910.
