Sports physicals, immunizations and school supplies will be some of the many offerings at the annual Wyandotte County Back to School Fair.
This year’s fair will be held Saturday, Aug. 1, at two locations:
• Kansas City Kansas Community College, 7250 State Ave., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• The Boys and Girls Club Wyandotte County Unit, 1240 Troup, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The fair is open to all families with students who live in Wyandotte County (both public and private school students). Parents must provide proof of residence to participate in the fair.
The purpose of the event is to provide a one-stop opportunity for families to prepare for the start of school.
Immunizations and sports physicals will be available to the first 400 children (parents must bring a current immunization card or a pre-participation examination form for the physical).
Other offerings will include eye screenings (for the first 50 children), books, lunch, book bags with supplies and more.
The fair is sponsored by the Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools, Kansas City Kansas Community College and the Board of Public Utilities.
