Kick-off the school year with Commissioner Amanda M. Stewart, M.Ed. (District 3) at her annual “Back-to-School” Community Fiesta on Saturday, Aug. 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Smallwood Village Center (St. Charles Parkway, Waldorf). The first 250 Pre-K through 12 grades students that register and attend a Charles County school will receive a backpack filled with school supplies. This is a drive-through and distribution event only. 

Show your school spirit! The Charles County School with the most students registered and they attend, will win 100 safety kits for their school and a special lunch for the faculty. An additional teacher drawing and a college drawing for a 2021 High school graduate attending college are being held.  You must pre-register to be considered for the drawings. 

The “Back to School” Community Fiesta will include the Department of Health mobile COVID vaccine clinic. If you receive a vaccine during the event, your name will be entered into a drawing. If you are already vaccinated, show your card to be entered into a separate drawing.
