Back to School With Pride Backpack Project
The Friends of the Guardian ad Litem Program is providing backpacks filled with school supplies for children in need. The goal of this project is to set each child up for success and have them feel a sense of pride on their first day of school. The classroom environment is a haven for most children that live in poverty and have limited,if any, resources to support their educational needs. The backpacks should be solid colors without advertising or any kind of endorsement on them. The contents for backpacks are listed below and are the suggestions from Wake County Schools. Please feel free to upgrade or add additional items. Please label the filled backpacks with the appropriate age group.
