Backpacks for Kids 2012

SchoolCenter Picture

Community efforts always make for a successful Backpacks for Kids campaign!

Northshore School District's 13th annual Backpacks for Kids school supply donation campaign will run July 13 through August 3.  The school district, Woodinville Chamber Education Committee and the Northshore Kiwanis are coordinating a community-wide drive to benefit over 850 Northshore students whose families are unable to send their children to school with necessary school supplies.  

Northshore School District families in need of this resource should contact their school office manager or nurse. 

Local businesses, civic buildings and churches have volunteered to be collection sites during the donation drive. Northshore is currently looking for volunteers to help assemble backpacks on August 10. Student community service hours are available upon request.

Monetary donations (payable to Backpacks for Kids) can be sent to the Northshore School District Administrative Center, 3330 Monte Villa Parkway, Bothell, WA 98021.

Contact Cecilia Shumate at 425.408.7670 or cshumate@nsd.org if you’d like to help assemble backpacks on August 10 or for program information.
