Operation Backpack for the ship

Greetings,

The USS Carter Hall's  FRG (Family Readiness Group) is working on our very own Operation Backpack.

Our goal is to supply 50 kids with backpacks filled with school essentials.

We took the local school supply list.... added up the required items... and I almost fell out.... the costs can be a little intimidating.

Over $57 dollars for school supplies (and that's buying the cheap stuff).

Imagine when a family has 3 or more kids.

SO ... we are have been school shopping...




A little bit of this...


A little bit of that...







Non-toxic glue sticks... for those kids who like the taste of glue!



And you can never have enough Germ-x when kids are around.



Hopefully, this helps a few of our families in need.

Now to find backpacks...


Blessings,

Ooooo Glue! Yummy! Although I did prefer the minty tasting paste we had as a kid. Teachers always had to keep their eyes on me when the stuff was around! =)
