Mark your calendars, parents—Super Saturday: Back 2 School Bash + Backpack Giveaway is back and better than ever! Join us on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the Family Garden at the Children’s Coalition for one of the most joyful, jam-packed, and helpful events of the summer!

This FREE family event is designed to get your kiddos excited and equipped for the school year ahead. Last year, over 300 backpacks filled with school supplies were given away—and this year, we’re aiming even higher thanks to the amazing support of our community partners Stacey Smith, Advanced Healthcare Professional, and Rocketfast Car Wash. 🙌





But it’s more than just backpacks! Super Saturday is a celebration of kids, community, and getting school-ready in the most fun way possible. Families can look forward to exciting activities, interactive games, helpful resources, and friendly faces from organizations that are dedicated to supporting families year-round. From creative crafts to practical tips for the upcoming school year, there's something for every age and stage.

And guess what? 🎉 Macaroni KID Monroe-West Monroe will be there too, bringing the fun and connecting with families all morning long. We can’t wait to see your smiling faces and share in the excitement as we count down to the first day of school together!

So, gather your crew, grab your sunscreen, and don’t miss this incredible morning of back-to-school magic.
