Stephen’s Backpacks
Dream Out Loud
Royal Oak Students are supporting Stephen’s Backpacks 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.
This Friday, November 24th at 10:00 A.M. Nancy McPhee, Stephen’s Mom will be joining us for a special assembly. All parents are invited to attend.
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 of a backpack.
What could go in a backpack?
Child Backpack (4-9 years old):
·       Waterproof gloves/mittens, toque, scarf, blanket, socks
