Set for Tuesday is the Berrien County Health Department’s annual Back to School Bash. Spokesperson Gillian Conrad tells WSJM News the event is a way for parents to take care of several of the things ahead of the new school year, all in one place.

“We really want to make sure that parents are not forgetting about some of the most important things for children to have with them when they go back to school, and that is required immunizations and hearing and vision screenings,” Conrad said.

Conrad says that’s not all.

“We will have healthy snack inspiration, some activities and giveaways for kids,  information about programs and services like WIC, parenting education, health insurance enrollment assistance.”

Police will be on hand to show off their vehicles to the kids, and they’ll do child IDs. The Back to School Bash will be Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Berrien County Health Department office on Napier Avenue in Benton Township. Everyone s welcome. You can find out more right here.
