Charleston School District's Family Resource Fair will be held on September 8 and 9, 2025 from 6-8pm at Charleston High School. This event is aimed at connecting families with community organizations and resources. We are so grateful to be able to offer this opportunity to our district families.
If you represent or know of an agency or organization in Charleston who would like to participate by having a table at the resource fair this year, please share or complete this form by August 15th with all of the information we need so that we can reserve a table for your group and add you to our resource fair booklet and handout for families. This is not for businesses to promote or sell products and services, but it is to share important resources in our community that support school age children and their families. We will notify participating agencies about two weeks before the event to confirm your information and to update you on the location and times available for set up. We appreciate you! https://forms.office.com/r/QV6zyzf9h3
