Thank you for your early investment in our children’s future. With 80% of new jobs requiring proficient skills in science, technology, engineering, and math it has become increasingly important that we reduce the barriers to excel in school. Giving these students the tools they need to do their homework and participate in the classroom gives them the opportunity to succeed and help break the cycle of poverty.
Currently, our staff is collecting requests from schools in need for the coming school year. In August we will distribute the backpacks that we will receive at our warehouse.
As the campaign continues, we wanted to share the impact your donation will have on the students. An elementary school teacher writes, “The students aren’t preoccupied with what they need. They come in with more confidence. The backpacks and school supplies gives them ownership over their learning and that’s a powerful thing.” Thanks for helping provide the tools for our children to thrive in school and pursue their dreams.
