Bridges of Mountain Home’s Back-to-School Bazaar is scheduled for Friday from 4 until 7 at Nelson-Wilks-Herron Elementary School. This will be Bridges’ fourth-annual event leading up to the school year to provide necessities to Mountain Home School District students.
While the district will provide the school supplies to students this year, Bridges Director Jill Czanstkowski says they will provide other things free of charge.
