The popular Back-to-School Bash event is back this year, and it’s got a new addition and name. It’s now the Back-to-School Bash and Beyond: From Learning to Earning. The Human Services department and Workforce & Business Center have teamed up to provide Adams County students with the school supplies they need, while also providing a job fair for the adults and older students in the family. This week, we’re joined by some special guests to learn more about this fun event.
