Back To The Bell is an annual back-to-school celebration organized by the Archetype Foundation, created to support students and families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, August 15, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Expedition Elementary in Puyallup, Washington.

Designed as a fun and welcoming community gathering, Back To The Bell offers something for everyone. Attendees can enjoy free food, live entertainment, and a positive, family-friendly atmosphere. The event brings together local residents, volunteers, and organizations with the shared goal of uplifting the community and ensuring students start the school year with confidence.

A key highlight of the event is our backpack giveaway. This year, we are aiming to distribute 600 free backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students in need. By providing these resources, we hope to ease the financial burden on families and help set students up for academic success from day one.
