This afternoon focuses on supporting local students and families. Attendees can pick up free backpacks and school supplies while enjoying music, entertainment, and various gifts.

The Sunland Park Fire Department and the Sunland Park Police Department will participate in the event. Personnel from both departments will lead demonstrations and interact with children to provide an educational look at their daily work.

This is a local effort created to help neighbors connect and prepare for the upcoming school cycle. Organizers invite all area families to attend and start the new year on a positive note.
