District seeks partners
for Back to School Bash
The time of the year to send
kids back to school has
already come and gone,
and the city of Nixa is already
preparing for the 2019-20
academic year.
Eight area nonprofits have
already signed on to contribute
to July 2019’s Back to School
Bash event. These groups will
help provide services to around
800 students at the 2019
event.
To help meet those
needs, Nixa needs
to raise about
$50,000 to hold
the event. This
will cover a backpack,
school supplies, hygiene
kits, and shoes for every student
that came to the event. In addition,
if new clothes were provided,
the amount raised would
increase by several thousand
dollars.
So, Nixa is looking for businesses
and organizations that
would like to partner with the
school district to provide that
funding or supplies to help the
event happen.
Outside of the non-profits
already helping, one business—
Marco’s Pizza—has also made
a commitment. Owner Marcus
Johnson will donate 15 percent
of dine-in or takeout sales on
Monday nights to go
toward the purchase of shoes
for next year’s students in need.
All customer need to do when
they come in or call is mention
the event.
If other businesses or organizations
would like to partner
with the district, they just
need to contact Zac Rantz at
zacrantz@nixaschools.net or call
417-449-3295. Anyone wanting
to make an online donation
can go to www.backtoschoolbashnixa.
net and donate toward
backpacks, shoes, school supplies
or hygiene kits.
