Corpus Christi Fun for Kids Back to School Events Guide 2016

It seems like we were just thinking about things to during Summer break and now we're starting to think about school supplies lists and school clothes. Every year many organizations kindly put together events to help parents deal with the financial burden of buying all the back to school necessities.  We have a list of them here and will be updating as we hear about them.  Is your organization putting on an event?  Let us know! Also, compiling this information takes work, please credit or link back to Corpus Christi Fun for Kids when sharing.
