Murfreesboro City Schools invites students and families to celebrate the return of the school year at the annual Blast Back to School from 10:00AM to 1:00PM on Saturday, August 15th, at Cannonsburgh Village, 312 S Front St. in Murfreesboro.

"We are very excited about this year's event," says Candy Clifford, Outreach Coordinator for Murfreesboro City Schools. "Students and parents always have a lot of fun and they're able to gather information about community resources and our system while they are here."

The Blast features entertainment, activities, giveaways and giant inflatables for guests to enjoy. There will also be a local DJ providing entertainment throughout the event.

"Children will be able to tour emergency vehicles and a bookmobile where they can sign up for library cards," Clifford added.

Representatives from several Murfreesboro City Schools departments will answer questions at the blast along with numerous community agencies.

"This event has so much to offer and we really encourage our community to come out," concluded Clifford.

Blast Back to School is sponsored by the Community Outreach Team at Murfreesboro City Schools, the City of Murfreesboro, and Murfreesboro Parks and Rec.

Murfreesboro City Schools is a district of twelve schools committed to the academic and personal success of each child.
