Stephen's Backpacks

Stephen’s Backpacks

Royal Oak Students are supporting Stephen’s Backpacks this holiday season. Stephen’s Backpacks is an organization that was started in Airdrie by a young boy who thought it wasn’t fair that he received so much for Christmas when other children didn’t even have a bed to sleep in.

The backpacks this year are for children who range in age from infant to grade 3. We are looking for donations of new items that can go inside of a backpack (toques, mitts, puzzles, pyjamas, socks, baby items, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.). These items can be brought to school with your child and they will be placed under the tree in the gathering space.

We will begin collecting items in the gathering space beginning on Monday, November 13th and will be accepting donations until Wednesday, December 6th.
