Starting the School Year Right
Where School Essentials Meet Family Fun
Think of our annual Back to School Bash as a carnival with a cause! For one energy-filled day, local school children come together to enjoy a carnival with games, face painting, a climbing wall, snacks, and much more. While the kids play together, their parents have an opportunity to get to know other Neighbors in the community. And when it’s time to wind down for the day, each child goes home with a variety of back-to-school essentials, including:
A backpack filled with grade-specific supplies for their school
Adopt a backpack (See below!)
New tennis shoes
New spiritwear
Thursday and Friday, we invite the kids to shop for clothes to start the school year strong and confident.
As school partners, Prosper, Celina and Gunter ISD send the application to families who are on free or reduced lunch. Parents must complete the application to receive this assistance for their children. Prior to the event, Cornerstone NCT offers opportunities for donors to sponsor and fill a backpack.

“They CARE! I was going through a rough patch, and they were there for my son and I…God bless you guys!”
“They have helped my family when I was in a great deal of need. I, in turn, was able to help someone else this year at the beginning of school.”
“Your organization is a blessing! Your gracious offer of support came at a time when I needed it most. Thank you.”
“Our boys’ smiles that day will forever be in our memories. Please let all those that volunteered know that their efforts were not unnoticed and were appreciated more than I can express.”
