State and Carson City School District partner to bring backpacks, supplies to homeless kids
A collaborative effort Tuesday partnered the Carson City School District and the Nevada Department of Education to divided and pack more than 600 backpacks and books for the education of homeless children and youth across Nevada.
The backpacks were filled with school supplies and hygiene items, 3-ring binders and an assortment of books.
Feed the Children will now ship the supplies to the McKinney-Vento Students in Transition Program where items will be divided up, assembled and distributed to more than 17 districts throughout the state.
“Our district and employees are happy to host this activity,” said Richard Stokes, Carson City School District Superintendent. “Our schools are extensions of our community, so providing for students in Nevada who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence is really a part of who we all are.”
