My Project

Backpacks will be stuffed with the school supplies and given out at a Back To School Kickoff in August of 2024 at a local community center.

This project centers around the goal of Community Engagement with a goal of connecting with our underrepresented and vulnerable students and families.

Additional objectives include, encouraging communication and building partnerships, demonstrating that we value all families and students as part of the school family, and that we are a resource for education, social, and economic needs.

These backpacks, pencil pouches and notebooks will support of students with the highest need. Students who come to school prepared are more successful in the classroom!

Thank you!
