Memphis parents and their offspring have a reason to celebrate as summer kicks into high gear. The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum is hosting a party to welcome back the 901 Student Passport program, according to information released by Shelby County's official website. This Saturday, families are invited to join the festivities, which will be amped up with everything from live music to food trucks.
The Kick-off Kickback event is more than just a celebration; it's a gateway to cultural enrichment for kids across Shelby County. As reported on Shelby County’s website, families can enjoy the accompaniment of the Memphis Grizzlies, a performance by DJ Mike Mosby, and a variety of free lunch options from the Moss Be Smoke food truck. Young attendees can indulge in treats from Mempops while parents gather information on summer activities to fill their children's vacation with memories and learning.
The 901 Student Passport, a key to free access to a dozen museums throughout Shelby County, is a gift bestowed upon every student from kindergarten to 12th grade. Museums participating in the program are gearing up to set up their booths within the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, offering information and giveaways to attract young minds eager to explore their history and heritage during the school break.
Starting immediately, passports are ready for pickup at any YMCA location, with the bonus of a free swim lesson at local pools beckoning families. And for those who have their passports already from last year’s initiatives, the open door to discover remains as the passports are still valid for use. According to Shelby County's website, passports activate on May 28, transforming them into all-access passes to the partnering attractions across the county.
