Thursday night marked Hollister's 10th Annual Night of the Tiger. The fun-filled family event is designed to ensure that all Hollister students are fully prepared for the first day of the new school year.
The annual back-to-school event is divided into two parts—a classroom meet and greet, and a family fun fair.
During the meet and greet, students and their families are invited to visit their classrooms, and meet with their new teachers in advance of the first day of school.
The family fun fair provides students with many back-to-school necessities, including hair cuts, and school supplies that they might need, as well as college and career readiness, and health services. Jordan Valley Clinic offered vaccinations and sports physicals. MO CHIP, sponsored by Central Crossing Lodge, provided a child identification package to each student. Christian Action Ministries offered groceries and household items. Several area organizations were on hand to provide information on the resources and services that they offer to area families. The evening also included fun and games, bounce houses, face painting and more.
Students and their families enjoyed hot dogs, grilled by Arvest Bank and Central Bank, for dinner, and the evening was capped off with a fireworks display, sponsored by the City of Hollister, to the delight of all in attendance.
The Night of the Tiger is an annual tradition that not only gets children ready for the upcoming school year, but provides parents and families of those children a sense of security in sending their children off to school.
