Warrior Backpack Program

Families of the Backpack Program,
I will be stepping down as the Backpack Program Coordinator. Unfortunately, no one has expressed interest in continuing the program. The last week your child will be bringing home food bags will be November 6th-10th. If someone comes forward to continue the program, an email will be sent out to notify you.
Thank you, Summer Stietz
