Dear Parents and Community Members,
We are excited to share the positive impact of the Backpack Buddies program at our school! This program provides weekend food bags to students experiencing food insecurity, ensuring they have access to essential nourishment over the weekends and return to school ready to learn.
This program relies on the generosity of our community to provide the needed food items each week. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference in the lives of our students.
Here's how you can help:

OR
Always feel free to donate any food you might have that is unopened, new in box, or unperishable foods!
Any donation helps.
Together, we can fight hunger in our community and ensure all students have access to the food they need to thrive!
Thank you for your support.

Starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, regular attendance is essential for students gaining the academic and social skills they need to thrive. Research shows that when students are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the school year or 18 days over an entire school year), they are less likely to read proficiently by third grade, achieve in middle school and graduate from high school.
