The Bridge Foundation is thrilled to announce their annual Back-to-School Bash, dedicated to supporting MVR-III families, on Saturday, August 2nd, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM in the Pacific High School Cafeteria.
The Back-to-School Bash was created with one goal in mind: to provide under-resourced MVR-III families with essential support as they prepare for school. This event is designed to ease some of the financial burden and ensure every student feels confident and ready to learn.
What will students receive at the Bash? Each student will be provided with:
A new backpack
Essential hygiene supplies
Basic school supplies tailored to their grade level
A brand-new pair of shoes
Additional valuable resources (while supplies last!)
Important for Families Attending: Free/Reduced Meal Application Support On-Site!
Families are asked to complete the 2025 Free/Reduced Meal Application while at the event. This is incredibly important, not just for the Bash, but for our entire school district!
Why is completing the Free/Reduced Meal Application important?
Direct Benefits for a Child: If your child qualifies, they will receive free or reduced-price meals, ensuring they have nutritious food to fuel their learning throughout the school day.
Support for Schools: The number of students who qualify for free/reduced meals directly impacts the amount of federal funding our district receives. This funding is crucial for supporting various programs, resources, and services that benefit ALL MVR-III students and our schools as a whole. From academic support to technology and staffing, these funds are essential for providing a high-quality education. By completing the form, you're not just helping your family; you're helping our entire school community thrive!
Access to Other Programs: Qualification for free/reduced meals can also open doors to other support programs and discounted services for your family, both within the school district and in the community.
To complete the application, families are asked to bring the following information:
SNAP case number (if applicable)
Social security number of the primary adult household member
Household income information
Community Support Welcome!
We are calling on our incredible community to rally around this annual event! The Back-to-School Bash provides hundreds of MVR-III students with the specific school supplies and essential items they need to start the year strong. Your generosity makes a tangible difference in the lives of our students.
