“The Back to School Bash is one of our favorite annual events. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community and help our young residents start the school year on a positive note. This year we are hosting it at each of our patrol districts, so everyone can better familiarize themselves with where the deputies who serve you are assigned,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
Important Note: Parents and guardians, please bring your school-aged children to the event. Children must be present to receive school supplies.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is committed to building a strong community, and these Back to School Bashes are a great example of that commitment. We want to see every student succeed, and these essential supplies can help them do just that!
