BaCK to School 2024-2025

Each year, the requests for essential school supplies and learning supports grow. The high cost of living means basic items like lunch bags, water bottles & sneakers are out of reach for many families.

BaCK to School programs for 2024-2025 included 2 great initiatives:

The Gift Card Program allows families to choose the items that are right for their child’s individual needs at the start of the new school year. Back-to-school items they know they’ll need.

The Teachers’ Totes Program continues the care for our students in the classroom, filling gaps in with school supplies and helping to ensure that every student has what they need to succeed.
