Backpacks for 2025-2026 School Year

Help me give my students a backpack to help them prepare for 2nd grade.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bacchus's classroom raised $596

My Project

It's the first day of school, and you're so excited about being in a new grade with new friends and a new teacher, but you still have that same old backpack or don't have one at all. This describes the situation of a few of my students over the past few years. Every summer, I go shopping for school supplies for my students, including the basic pencils, crayons, notebooks, folders, etc. I am asking for your help with providing backpacks for them. These backpacks will ensure that all my students come to school equally prepared.

My goal is to provide my students with a new backpack that will last throughout the year.

Preparation is the key to success, and I would like to help my students be prepared for 2nd grade with a backpack filled with supplies. With your support, you can help me provide backpacks for all of my students.
