My Project

Even in middle school, it feels cool to have your own lunchbag. I've noticed many of our middle schoolers do pack their lunch, but often don't have a lunch bag to carry their food items in. They usually just hold the items in their hands or use a grocery store bag.

I want to provide our middle school girls with their very own lunchbag and cutlery set so they can be excited about packing their lunch!

Middle school girls need just as much love and care as our younger students, even as they are becoming more independent and coming into their own. Something as simple as having your own lunchbag can build confidence and help to start your day off on a positive note.

Please help me provide our girls with these cool and needed items!
