Today, dozens of children are coming to our Community Resource Center to pick out the backpack they'll use all school year.
Horton's Kids is distributing more than 120 backpacks to children like Lanae and MaKaela, pictured in front of our Community Resource Center with their new backpacks.
"I love my backpack," says Saadiyah, a 6th-grader in our program. "When I walked into the room I went right to my bag. It's the best color and it has a lot of really big pockets. There were binders, colored pencils, folders, flash cards, pencil cases, markers, glue - all of the things I need for school. I was so excited for school.
It's time to get my education, so I can go to college
."
At the beginning of every school year, Horton's Kids distributes backpacks to make sure children can start the school year on the right foot: prepared and ready to learn.
We're happy to be distributing more than 120 backpacks
, each full of all of the school supplies the kids will need.
