What better way to start off the school year than with a Bradenton Marauders baseball game? The Manatee County School District hosted a Back-to-School Jam for students on Aug. 8 at LECOM Park in Bradenton, featuring free tickets and hot dogs. More than 3,200 people attended and more than 1,000 backpacks were given to students.
