Additional Information

"...I had a student come to me at the end of the day carrying her materials. I offered her a backpack (provided by Crayons to Classrooms). The smile on her face was enough to light up the room! She was so thankful and appreciative of the backpack. Thanks to Crayons to Classrooms I'm able to provide students with materials that they wouldn't otherwise have.”
