2024 Back to School Bash
-
The Back to School Bash was created to provide our Nixa families with a little extra support before they start school. The event will supply each student with a backpack, hygiene supplies, basic school supplies (based on the student's grade level), clothes, a new pair of shoes, and additional resources.
This annual event is made possible with the support of Nixa community organizations and businesses.

-
If you need assistance getting back to school supplies and have not done so yet, please fill out a sign-up form by Monday, June 17, 2024 (The deadline was extended from June 10) for the Back to School Bash. A cut-off is needed to be able to order all the necessary school supplies and have them on hand for the bash.
The only requirement is to be a Nixa Public Schools student in K-12th grade who needs assistance. Upon submission of this form, you will be contacted with an appointment time for the bash. All we ask is that you please arrive at your scheduled time.
To be able to attend the Bash, the sign up form is required to attend.
How to Volunteer at the Bash

We supply Nixa students and their families with comfort and piece-of-mind when it comes to back to school. This cannot happen without the time, energy, and dedication of our volunteer teams.
Our volunteers for the Back to School Bash are the life of the event. They ensure our attendees are supported and find all the necessary items to start their new school year.
