Kekionga Middle School will welcome students, families, and community members to its annual Back-to-School Night on Tuesday, August 5, from 5 to 7 PM. This highly anticipated event aims to kick off the academic year by connecting families with essential resources and creating a welcoming environment for students as they prepare to return to the classroom.

Local organizations and service providers will offer a range of free services to support Kekionga families.

Attendees can enjoy a variety of engaging experiences, including free food, raffle giveaways with prizes, and interactive activities such as the Power Mobile Video Gaming Truck. The event will also feature a special appearance by Johnny TinCaps from 5 to 6 PM, offering a fun opportunity for students and families to connect with a beloved local mascot.
