SKAGIT COUNTY BACK TO SCHOOL EVENTS
Last Updated 08/09/2025
Our kiddos will be back to school before we know it. Summer feels like it's passing so quickly! As we get closer to the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year in Skagit County, I know many of you will be looking for the back-to-school events that our local schools and churches hold for families in need of free school supplies, clothing, haircuts, etc. These events are uplifting and everyone has a good time!
Wishing you and your family a delightful Summer and a smooth transition back to school! ~Jen
