Schools Collect Backpacks

Many teachers and schools have had class projects where students collected materials and filled backpacks to donate to the Backpacks for Hope Project. Below are photos of just a couple of examples where classroom teachers, their students, and/or schools participated in the Backpacks for Hope Project. A Hugh thank you goes out to all those who donated a backpack for the project. We are collecting stories from those who donated a backpack. Whether you donated a backpack as an individual, as a family, or as an organization (classroom, school, student group, company), we would like to hear your story. Contact us by posting your story to this blog or emailing it to wawesty@gmail.com

Miss Solak's class at Sunnyside Elementary in Pullman collected supplies and filled somewhere around 50 backpacks! In the backpacks, the students placed letters they composed, as well as a stamped envelope with the Sunnyside mailing address in hopes of getting responses back from students receiving backpacks. We will keep you posted on their progress.

Mrs. Kennedy’s 2nd grade class and Mrs. Alm’s 5th grade class at Gess Elementary in Chewelah, Washington collected school supplies and filled over 75 backpacks. This photos shows the backpacks from Gess Elementary delivered at the WSU-Stanford football game.
