The Public Schools of Robeson County kicked off their Back to School Celebration bright and early Thursday with some eager students.
The event provided students with free book bags, paper, pencils and study guides.
The celebration welcomed more than 20,000 parents, students and volunteers to the Southeastern Agriculture Center in Lumberton.
In addition to free school supplies, the celebration gives students a chance to see their school principal and visit with some school staff, as each school sets up a booth at the event.
The celebration is sponsored by the Parent-Student center.
