BACKPACKS FOR HUNGER

We are excited to announce that our students can participate in the “Backpacks for Hunger” program at Paul Kinder Middle School.

This is an exciting partnership with Church of the Resurrection/Blue Springs to provide nutritious, kid-friendly snacks every weekend during the school year for families in need.

It is our hope that providing nutritious food over the weekend will benefit your child in areas of self-esteem, concentration, attendance, and academic performance. We kicked off the “Backpacks for Hunger” program on Friday, October 6th.

Students in this program receive a grocery sack full of non-perishable snacks to take home for the weekend. The grocery sack will be placed in their lockers on Fridays.

If you are interested in receiving more information about this program, please email your student’s counselor.
