The first Back to School Bash, hosted by the Natrona County School District and Mercer House, was a huge success! Thousands of people came to partake in the festivities, which included educational enrichment, prize giveaways, fashion shows, dance recitals, magic and juggling acts, and much more!

The goal of the event, which was held on Aug. 16 at the Nicolaysen Art Museum, Natrona County Public Library and on Beech Street, was to show community and district support to Natrona County students and their families for another school year. This wasn't an end-of-summer party; it was a kickoff to a great new school year!

The Natrona County School District's Communication Team would like to thank all of the organizations, businesses and individuals that helped make the Bash the blast that it was. A special "thanks" goes to the Natrona County Recreation Joint Powers Board, the Nicolaysen Art Museum, Natrona County Public Library and Mercer House. The event could not have happened without you.

We also would like to thank those who attended the Bash. We hope you had a wonderful time, and hope to see you again next summer! In the meantime, make it a great school year!
