Dream Packs

Help me give my students a strong, confident start with brand-new book bags built for success.

My Project

I love that my middle school students show up every day ready to grow, even when life throws challenges their way. Many of them spend long hours at school, and they deserve to begin the year with confidence and pride.

With your help, these Dream Packs will give students sturdy, brand-new backpacks to carry their supplies, dreams, and determination.

Having a backpack that’s truly theirs helps them stay organized, feel prepared, and walk into the classroom knowing they belong and are ready to succeed. Help build confidence!
