Hurricane Harvey Backpack Drive
Mountain Gap P-8 School has adopted Fred Roberts Middle School in Pasadena ISD (Houston, TX). Fred Roberts Middle School is a campus of 600 fifth and sixth grade students and they were devastated by Hurricane Harvey. We will work to provide them with new backpacks for their students when their students return. In each backpack we collect, we will place a letter of encouragement from one of our students.
Please support our backpack drive by donating new backpacks or monetary donations. We will use the monetary donations to purchase more backpacks and/or ship the collected backpacks. The average cost of a backpack plus shipping is $40. We hope to have all donations by
September 15th and ship that following weekend. Please help us help the children of Fred Roberts Middle School by donating.
