MPS Kicks Off School Year with Back-to-School Bash

On September 2, Memorial Park Elementary School (MPS) celebrated the start of the 2026-27 school year with a fun-filled Back-to-School Bash in the school cafeteria!

Local businesses and community organizations joined the celebration, connecting with students and families while sharing information about the services they offer. Each group also brought something special for students, from games and prizes to snacks and school supplies!

The MPS PTA also hosted a table featuring a fun backdrop for a special back-to-school photo opportunity!

It was a wonderful way for our community to come together and kick off the school year! A big thank you to all the businesses and organizations that took the time to join us and support our school community.
