Back To School Social
UPDATE: Due to the extreme heat forecast for this weekend, the Back to School Social on Saturday, August 1, has been canceled.
The community clothing drive is still moving forward, and we are continuing to accept donations of gently used school clothing, shoes, and backpacks. The free community clothing swap will now take place during the Food Truck Rally on Thursday, August 13, at Cory B. Wride Memorial Park.
Eagle Mountain City is hosting a Back to School Social on Saturday, August 1 at Cory B. Wride Memorial Park, to help families and students connect with local schools, community partners, and one another before the new school year begins.
The event will take place from 6:00–8:00 PM and will include school booths, community activities, safety demonstrations, food trucks, and opportunities for families to get involved.

Community activities will include:
- School booths featuring local schools, clubs, athletics, and programs
- Opportunities to meet elementary school crossing guards
