DULUTH, MN — The Duluth School District is hosting a “Unity in Our Community” event to welcome students back from summer vacation.
While most students don’t have to hit the books until Tuesday, Sept. 6, the district will hold its event on Monday, Aug. 29 at Bayfront Festival Park.
The event is free and open to all students, parents and staff throughout the district.
There will be a backpack giveaway, free food, bounce houses, kids’ races, bouncy tanks, music and more.
Superintendent John Magas says it’s a great way to build community because focusing on relationships is so important right now.
“Students don’t really care what someone knows until they know it matters to them. So making sure that we’re focused on the social, emotional learning needs and the relationship needs that we have, those are some of the strengths of many of our schools,” Magas said.
Anyone attending the event can park at Bayfront for free along with other city transportation hubs.
