Get ready for an afternoon of fun as we kick off the new school year at the Reading School District Back to School Bash on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, from 3:00–6:00 PM at FirstEnergy Stadium (rain date: August 6)!

Enjoy free food, backpack giveaways, raffles (while supplies last), and activities for the whole family. Meet with more than 75 community organizations, explore valuable resources, and learn about local employment opportunities.

This free event is open to all Reading School District families with students in Pre-K through 12th grade, and transportation will be available. We can't wait to celebrate the start of another amazing school year with you!
