PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — The start of the school year is just around the corner for Pueblo School District 60 (D60), and they are throwing a big party to get students excited.
The district held its first Back to School Bash Thursday. Thousands of people packed the Dutch Clark Stadium parking lot.
Families who attended were able to do the following:
- receive free school supplies
- learn about different activities and resources
- get free haircuts
"I'm really excited at South," said Santino Gutierrez, a student at Pueblo South High School. "...I've been waiting for it this whole summer. Actually, I've been waiting for all the games, all the events with student council, just about everything, honestly, and I just can't wait for it."
Teachers return to school next Monday, and school officially starts for D60 on August 19.
