Chicago families are getting a real boost this August as the Chicago Teachers Union rolls out its third annual Back to School Summer Jam. This isn’t just about free backpacks—kids can grab supplies, get health checkups, fresh haircuts, and even score one of 5,000 culturally relevant books. The event is packed with games, live performances, and food, all aimed at making sure every student feels ready and supported for the new school year. It’s a powerful reminder of how much community support can shape our kids’ experiences. Who’s planning to go, and what are you most excited about? #News #Chicago #BackToSchool
