Backpacks for the coming school year
SaddleBrooke Community Outreach’s Kid’s Closet doesn’t go on hiatus even when the school year ends. Annually the program purchases backpacks and fills them with grade-appropriate school supplies for the coming school year. Backpacks have already been purchased and loaded with much-needed supplies such as ruled paper, folders, scissors, pencils, glue, eraser and crayons. In May through July the backpacks will be delivered to eight elementary schools in the “Copper Corridor,” including those in Mammoth, San Manuel, Oracle, Winkelman, Superior, Kearney and Miami. When the school year begins in August, the backpacks will be distributed to delighted students in grades 1 through 6.
