My Project

Our district has implemented a new clear backpack policy for this school year to help ensure our safety. Unfortunately, the clear backpacks don’t hold up quite as well as the traditional ones. Now that we are about halfway through the school year we have some students in need of new backpacks that are struggling to replace them on their own.

Please help provide our students with new clear backpacks to get them through to the end of the school year.

Having a functional backpack to carry needed school supplies is vital to our students’ academic success.
