Preparations for St. Mark’s Annual Back To School Bash (#14) are in full swing. The event is on August 1 (9-11 am). Pre-registered children (grades PreK-6) receive a high quality backpack, school supplies, and a celebration reminding them that their hard work matters. We want every child to have the tools they need to succeed in their academic journey.
