Families in Long County with school-aged children are invited to a back-to-school rally happening Saturday, August 3 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. in Ludowici. Saint Phillips Missionary Baptist Church is hosting the event on the church grounds at 147 Boundary Street. Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church is also an event sponsor.
The rally will be organized as a drive-through, and participants can receive free backpacks and school supplies. The Long County Health Department will offer information about available services and tips for healthy lifestyles in the school year and beyond.
The Long County Health Department is also reminding families that children entering pre-K or kindergarten, 7th grade, and 11th grade are required to have certain vaccinations for school attendance. A hearing, vision, dental, and nutrition screening is also required for any student attending school in Georgia for the first time.
The health department will host a back-to-school vaccine and screening event on August 22 at the clinic in Ludowici by appointment only. To make an appointment, call the health department at 912-545-2107 during clinic hours. Space is limited.
