The 9th Annual #SchoolisCool event will be a drive-thru event at Fun Forest Park on Thursday, August 4, 2022. This back-to-school event offers Smith County families an opportunity to prepare for the new school year. Pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students that attend the event are given a backpack with school supplies. We give out 2,000 backpacks and they are given on a first-come, first-served basis.
Thanks to the continued partnership between the City of Tyler, Tyler Area Business Education Council, and TISD, in 2021 we were able to distribute nearly 2,000 backpacks to school children. This event wouldn’t be possible without generous donations from local sponsors and enthusiastic volunteers.
For more information, contact the Tyler Area Business Education Council.
