I was provided $25 by our sponsor Ebates to purchase a backpack and school supplies. I was not compensated in any other way for this post, other than feelings of gratitude for all the things we take for granted.
I have always loved school! I loved it so much, I received my Master’s Degree in Business Communication. OK, so I don’t actually use it for my job, but it was my goal and I achieved it! I love that my son still loves school- even going into the sixth grade. One of our favorite times of the year is getting all the Back to School supplies. Nothing is better than brand new backpacks, notebooks, pencils and glue sticks! The whole school year is yet to happen and the anticipation is killing us!
I never really thought about those families that can’t afford to buy school supplies for all 4 of their children. We are lucky that our school district does all it can for students. We don’t get 2 page long lists of supplies to bring in. In fact, for sixth grade, my son only had to get single subject notebooks and a backpack.
I was very excited to take part in the Back to School Backpack event! I was given $25 from Ebates to buy as many supplies (including a backpack) as I could get. I hit the jackpot at Staples. I got the My LIttle Pony Backpack, 6 one-subject notebooks, crayons, pencils, mechanical pencils, markers, pencil sharpener, Pink pencil box, scissors, glue sticks and Elmer’s Glue, and a few other things. I also added a lunch sack, a Laptop Lunch box and various products from Post It!

It would be amazing if you would do the same for a needy student at your school! How many backpacks could we give? Leave me a comment below if you can help!
