Sports physicals will be offered with pre-registration required via QR code. Immunizations, including Tdap and meningitis vaccines, will also be available to help students meet school health requirements.
Beyond practical resources, the event will feature a Family Fun Zone with a bounce house, obstacle course, petting zoo, inflatable basketball, axe throwing and additional family-friendly activities.
