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.
