Back Pack to School Supply Drive + Adult Spelling Bee
Studies show that when kids have new school supplies of their own: grades, classroom behavior, and engagement improve; self-esteem increases; and attitudes toward school and learning strengthen.
Metropolitan Ministries works to get kids the supplies they need by providing backpacks, uniforms and school supplies to more than 250 children annually. Simply Stated Media and 81Bay Brewing Company have teamed up to help them!
We are hosting a “Back Pack to School” Supply Drive to collect the items that students need most as they enter the new school year. You can help too!
Bring a school supply donation (or $20 cash donation) to our “Back Pack to School” Drive Party on Aug. 3rd at 81Bay Brewing Company.
(You can also make donations to our Facebook fundraiser. Everyone who donates $20 or more will receive raffle tickets) Donate here:https://www.facebook.com/donate/10101024984739408/)
This is our first year putting on the event but we hope to make it an annual thing.
