Active-duty service members at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and their families are invited to a free, information- and fun-filled “Back to School Bash” from 4 to 6 p.m. Aug. 7 at the Religious Education Center near the Prairies Chapel.

The event involves Outdoor Recreation, the Wright-Patterson Club, base youth programs and the 88th Force Support Squadron, said base school liaison, Janet Wynn. Military members will be asked to show their ID.

“It’s an almost-end-of-summer, back-to-school bash,” she said.

A range of available activities will include a bouncy castle; face painting; games; entertainment; 88 FSS food truck with food for purchase; access to the swimming pool; and information tables staffed by the Dayton Metro Library; Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services; Hope for Riverside; the Dayton Regional STEM School; Fairborn City Schools; and the Mad River Local School District.

“We want people to have an enjoyable time while gaining information on available resources, both on- and off-base,” Wynn said, “especially from our participating community partners.”
