Summer is quickly coming to an end and we are so sad, but the kids are ready to head back to school (I think as parents, we might be a little ready for them to get back into a routine too!). Are you ready to head back to school in Las Vegas, Henderson, or Boulder City?
We’ve compiled a list of back-to-school fairs and events that you and/or your family can attend to prepare for the upcoming school year.
We’ve received a lot of questions regarding resources where families can collect free school supplies – like backpacks, crayons, pencils, etc. – for their children as well as back-to-school fairs, to learn about different resources in the community like after-school care, recreational sports, and more.
Don’t forget to check out the list below from your favorite family-friendly outlet, Nevada Moms, and be sure to check out our free community calendar for daily events near you as well as additional back-to-school events that may not be listed below.
