What a fantastic day! This year's Blessing of the Backpacks was a huge hit. We had a blast connecting with our community and preparing our students for a successful school year. Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the day with us. A special thanks to all the volunteers and community organizations who made this event possible.

Event Highlights:

• Free School Supplies: We provided essential school supplies to all school-aged students.
• Bounce House: Kids enjoyed some active fun with our bounce house, perfect for burning off some energy before the school year begins.
• Picnic: Everyone enjoyed a free picnic featuring hotdogs, chips, and drinks. It was a great opportunity to mingle with fellow community members and make new friends!
• Community Showcase: Various local organizations that contribute to our community’s well-being and growth were available for tours of their equipment, make connections, and spread the joy the Bellefonte community has to offer.
