The air at Alexander Park will be charged with anticipation and community spirit as Lawrence families prepare for the return to academic rhythms. Mark your calendars for a "Back to School Celebration," an event the whole family can enjoy while gearing up for the inevitable hustle of the coming school term.
Revelers can expect to lay their hands on free backpacks and essential school supplies, but it's while stocks last, so showing up early might give your little scholars the edge they need. And while their hands dig into new gear, free food and refreshments will be available to appease the appetites worked up from all the excitement – or hunger, as the case may very well be.
According to a statement on the City of Lawrence's official website, this community-filled afternoon is set to feature more than just giveaways.
