Backpacks for Kids

Community effort makes Backpacks for Kids drive a success

School begins September 1 in the Northshore School District, and thanks to an impressive community-wide effort, every student will arrive ready to learn. Through the generosity of our community, approximately 700 students will be able to start the year with basic and necessary supplies.

Northshore School District would like to express heartfelt appreciation to all who played a role in responding to every need during this year's Backpacks for Kids campaign. Countless students and families; community groups, businesses and civic organizations; and Northshore School District staff backed this valuable program in a myriad of ways, each individually and collectively generating an impressive effort of support!

We give thanks to the Northshore Kiwanis and the Education Committee of the Woodinville Chamber of Commerce. Our two community partners were instrumental with planning, executing and maintaining fiscal responsibility for the summer campaign.

We give thanks to our major donors for their continuous support -Boeing Retiree Volunteers, Bothell Untied Methodist Church, COSTCO of Woodinville, Eberle Vivian of Kent, Hopelink, MoonDog Embroidery of Bothell, Office Max of Woodinville, Power Zone Fitness of Bothell and the Woodinville Weekly.  Your major donations provided the foundation for our program.

We give thanks to the many community merchants, civic organizations, church groups, private donors and Northshore staff whose donations of money and supplies provided the substance of our program. Each year your overwhelming support allows us to fulfill the promise that all kids will begin the school year prepared and eager for learning.

We give thanks to Banner Bank of Bothell and Woodinville for collecting monetary donations and working with the Northshore Kiwanis to provide the fiscal support for this large campaign.

We give thanks to the many Northshore School District teams who assisted with the running of our program:  Communications, Transportation, Graphics and Warehouse.  Each part you played was integral in creating a smoothly run program.

We give thanks to those individuals, families and groups who helped gather and sort supplies and assemble backpacks. (See list of our community supporters below)

We give thanks to our supporters in our Bothell, Kenmore and Woodinville communities who served as donation drop-off sites.

Again, thank you for your generous spirit and support.  The tremendous success of the Backpacks for Kids campaign was due to your commitment to our youth!
