Wow, Cleveland truly showed up and showed out! The energy at the Cleveland Back to School Festival was electric.
CMSD was proudly in the building with our scholars, staff, and CEO all joining in on the fun. We want to send a massive thank you to everyone who attended and to all the amazing organizations, businesses, healthcare providers, city leaders, and community members who worked tirelessly to make this happen for our families.
This celebration was so much more than a school supply distribution. It was a powerful reminder that when our entire city comes together, we create opportunities that positively impact children and families long after the first day of school.
Thank you, Cleveland, for proving once again what community is all about!
