A report from the teachers leading the effort:
We hit the ground running last week, and it’s been wild and crazy!
Backpacks & Barbecue was absolutely fantastic! We had a great turnout, and the families were so grateful! One of my favorite things was to see the teachers/Villagers sitting in the middle of families interacting and really getting to know them. It was wonderful. The kids were SO excited to come in and get to see teachers and get extra love and attention from them.
We are going through our list to see which students have returned to Bethany this year and new kids that have moved in that could benefit from the program. We’ve also had several more teachers that are wanting to join. So we’re very excited about the upcoming school year and coming up with new ways we can support these kids and their families!
Mr. E brought the giftcards to us….THANK YOU! Several of our students already have needs that we have been able to meet!
Servias provided backpacks with contents, food, and gift cards to insure a successful event. Thank you!
