Help me give my students what is required to start their new school year off right. We are in need of clear backpacks.

My Project

Most recently, my school building and my school district have experienced problems with guns and gun violence. In lieu of the recent events our district has mandated that all students will have to carry clear backpacks next school year. Please help me give my students their clear backpacks, clear lunch bags, and clear pencil pouches so that this is one less headache their parents will have to have searching and paying for.

If all of my students have the same clear backpack and essentials then this will also eliminate their personal worries and fears of what they do not have or can't afford to have.

All students will have what they need, no one will be left out, and all will be serviced and outfitted equally.
