The Boys and Girls Club of Poplar Bluff invites the community to attend it's Back to School Bash from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday in the parking lot of the club's location at 1306 Victory Lane.
Join the club for food, fun and entertainment, as well as free giveaways for club members in a positive environment, said club resource development director Gail Fox. Students do not need to be members of the organization to attend.
Atom Entertainment will provide music, while funnel cakes, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers and refreshments will be included among the food items.
"Events like this are important because they allow us to show the community what we have to offer when it comes to helping students achieve success," Fox said. "It is also a way to thank parents, and students, for participating in our summer program and to start the upcoming school year on the right foot."
The Back to School Bash is sponsored by Ozark Federal Credit Union, Imo's Pizza and Rhodes 101 Stop. The 2018-19 Poplar Bluff R-1 school year begins Thursday.
The Boys and Girls Club of Poplar Bluff is part of a national organization of local chapters, which provide after-school and summer programs for students. For more information about the organization, call 573-776-1690.
