Backpacks for our Warriors!

Help me give my students the tools they need to be successful in school.

My Project

These backpacks and poster boards will help our students break down some barriers that they come across each day. Simply having a backpack can help our students have a better day at school.

Our Warriors knock down barriers everyday!

Let's continue to help them knock down those doors! They will use the poster boards throughout the year on various class projects so that they can be successful in the classroom.

The closet provides opportunities for our students that they may otherwise not have. We provide backpacks and school supplies for our students who may not have the means to obtain them on their own.
