Arroyo Seco Junior High School has hooked up with area elementary schools to give students in need a backpack and supplies to start the new year.
The goal:
Each underprivileged student receives a backpack filled with the supplies necessary for a successful year at school.
The big picture:
While a backpack and crayons may seem simple to us, to a young child with little, it can make the difference between giving up and feeling empowered. And as a bonus, our children get the opportunity to help someone in need. Arroyo Seco parents have been consistently generous in supporting the causes and needs of our community. Once again, your help is needed and greatly appreciated.
How can you participate?
1. You can get the supplies at any local Wal-Mart, Target or K-Mart. Everything on the list, including the backpack can be purchased for $25.00!
2. Create a backpack for your adopted student. Don’t forget to sign a personalized card and include it in the backpack.
3. Bring the filled backpack to the Main Office anytime before Friday, August 18th.
4. Backpacks will be delivered the week of August 21st.
