NORFOLK, Va. – After COVID-19 caused a two-year hiatus, the
Robert Jones Back to School Bash is back at Norfolk State. The event's newest rendition returns to its established Labor Day slot, taking place at Echols Hall on Monday, Sept. 5 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Â
The program will hand out free bookbags and other school supplies at the event in preparation for the 2022-23 academic year. Attendees will enjoy bounce houses, face paint, and an opportunity to meet Norfolk State basketball players.
Â
"This is always an event I look forward to doing," Jones said. "To give back to the community means everything to me. At that point in my life, I wish someone could have given to me. I'm glad I'm able to give back."
