We're so excited to share that a generous school supply donation has been made to our district thanks to the New Channel 8 school supply drive! A huge shout-out to our amazing community for their support in making this happen. These supplies will help set our students up for success and ensure they have the tools they need to learn and grow. This is a great example of our community coming together to support student achievement and well-being.

🎒 A huge THANK YOU to the "PackThe Backpacks Group" for their incredible generosity! 🙌
They donated 80 backpacks filled with school supplies to support our students as they head into the new school year. Your kindness is making a real difference, and we are so grateful for your support! 💛📚
