“These backpacks mean so much to my students and to my families ... anything that we can take away financial-wise so that they can focus on school and what needs to be done around the household is such a good gift.
Our parents and students love the great backpacks and the wonderful items that are inside of them: they deserve a great start to the school year and this is what's gonna make it happen.”
