Going back to school is always better with a little extra confidence—and that’s exactly what Warren County Schools and the Warren County High School Alumni Association delivered on Sunday, August 24.

Inside the Hawkins Educational Center, Warren County elementary students were treated to a one-of-a-kind pop-up barbershop experience. Local barbers Christen Freeman and Anthony Ray Young brought their clippers and their care, giving 30 students fresh haircuts that had them grinning ear to ear.

But the day didn’t stop there. Each child also received a free backpack stuffed with school essentials, plus a sweet, icy treat from Mac Scoops—Italian Icee that hit the spot on a warm August afternoon.

A mother of four was quoted to saying that she greatly appreciated what the school district was doing for the students before the first day of school. “Normally, I pay $50-60 for their haircuts. This really helps a lot.”

Warren County law enforcement, Warren County Schools, and local government departments joined forces at the Warrenton Lions Den on August 16th to host what felt less like a school supplies giveaway and more like a community block party.

Families picked up free backpacks stocked with essentials, while the smell of hot dogs fresh off the grill filled the air. Chips and cold drinks kept everyone refreshed, and kids had a blast in their own play zone complete with a bouncy house and hula hoops—plenty of giggles included.

The real highlight? Seeing neighbors, leaders, and families come together in a genuine show of support for Warren County’s youth.
