Hutto ISD holds back-to-school rally for students, families
HUTTO, Texas - Hutto ISD is ready to welcome back their hippos for the first day of school on August 10.
On Saturday morning, the community gathered at the Hutto Memorial Stadium for their annual Back to School Rally.
"First we got some markers, we got pens, we got paper, and we can't forget about all the candy and chips and all the wonderful water they provided for us on this hot day," said Hutto ISD parent Kandice Brawley.
Thanks to sponsors and vendors, the school district was able to distribute over 1500 backpacks to students.
Parents say this back-to-school rally takes away one less stress before sending the kids back to class.
Not only did the kids get to go home with a new bag, but they were also able to fill it up with school supplies.
The middle school and high school students were able to pick up their Chromebooks.
"It's awesome that the school and the community put this on and all the sponsors to come and help out the kids and the community get back to school," said Hutto ISD parent Jesse Austin.
