2018 Backpack recipient, Tynasia a Student at Pace Center For Girls reaction:
“I was so excited when I opened my locker and found a beautiful, new backpack inside. But that was not the best part… it was filled with all of
the things I needed to be successful in my classes. My family has very
limited income, so buying school supplies does not always make the list
of priorities.
Please let the people who gave us the backpacks know how grateful I am,
not just for the supplies, but to know that someone cares enough about
me (and all the girls at Pace), to make sure I have what I need to do my
very best in school. Thank you!”
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
We are so grateful for your contribution however big or small and
for this we want to SHOUT OUR APPRECIATION as loud as we
can.
Please email us if you have any questions or if you would like more information on being a sponsor for this event.
Statistics have shown that supplies made the strongest impact on Class Preparedness, Class Participation, Self-Esteem and Interest in Learning.
When families face decisions, such as keeping their lights on or their children’s bellies full, it means their children’s backpacks remain empty. Every school year, these students bear the burden of knowing their families cannot provide the required classroom supplies.
