Royal Oak Students are continuing to support Stephen’s
Backpacks Society for Children in Need this holiday season. Stephen’s
Backpacks Society for Children in Need is an organization that was started
in Airdrie by a young boy who thought it wasn’t fair that he received so much
for Christmas when other children didn’t even have a bed to sleep in.
In the near future,
Stephen’s Mom will be joining us for a special assembly. All parents are
invited to attend. Please stay tuned for that date!
The backpacks this year are for children who range in age
from infant to grade 3. We are
looking for donations of new items
that can go inside a backpack. Our goal is to fill 100 backpacks.
