Support Project Backpack

If anybody has any doubts about how much a School Backpack full of needed supplies means to the displaced children on the Gulf Coast, please read these comments from teachers and superintendents:

"On behalf of the approximately 75 displaced students who we now claim as our family, we want to express our gratitude for the best packed bags in the nation!  Our only sadness came when we realized that we had not taken photos of the students faces as they received each bag and then opened each one to find such a variety of treasures from other young people in our great country."

Pam C, School District Superintendent, Mississippi

Hi! My name is Nicole Dubois and I am a 2nd grade teacher at Seventh Ward Elementary in South Louisiana.   First of all, thanks so much for all of the help that your community has been providing us with.  We have received numerous backpacks with supplies in them that the kids have enjoyed so much!  The things that you have sent have really brightened their spirits.

Thank you, Project BackPack so very much for your gifts to our displaced students. Your assistance and caring mean a great deal to these children, their families, and our staff members.

My name is Nancy C___. I am an Area Director for the ___ Parish School System. We are struggling to meet the needs of the Hurricane Katrina students… The supplies you sent down came to the homeless office just down the hall from my office. I wish you could have heard the excitement when the backpacks arrived! You can't imagine what an impact it had on the morale of the staff who are working so hard and such long hours. Even greater has been the impact for the students who have received your wonderful gifts. They have lost everything - literally. They hold on to their new treasures with tight hands. It's as if the book sacks and supplies have given them hope and a chance for normalcy. On behalf of our parish, thank you to all who were involved in this project. What a difference everyone has made.

Nancy C., Area Director, Louisiana
