Back-to-School Fair Takes Place on August 23

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is hosting its annual Back-to-School Fair on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 am to 1 pm at Westfield Wheaton mall. This free event is a great opportunity for families to prepare for the upcoming school year.


The fair will feature a variety of family-friendly activities, entertainment, and valuable resources. Attendees can get information directly from departments within the school system, as well as from county programs and services. These resources can help students and parents navigate the school year and connect with community support.

To make the event accessible, MCPS will provide free transportation from five high schools to the fair. This helps ensure that all families have a chance to attend. For more details, including shuttle schedules and a full list of participating departments, families should visit the official event website.
