Tomorrow is the DAY!!9am-12pm at the Donald W. Reynolds Library!

We are exactly ONE WEEK away from our Annual Back to School Bash!

This event is 100% free, no purchases necessary (unless you’re hitting up the library’s concession stand).

While we prefer for your kiddos to be with you (so they can choose their own backpack), we also understand that things happen and sometimes schedules don’t line up (or kiddos don’t want to get up that early), either way come join the fun and gear up for some awesome stuff ❤️

The Payton Project is very supportive of Durant Schools and the schools across Bryan County. Joining them for the Back 2 School Block Party is a great way to kick off the school year!
