On Tuesday, April 12, Edgewood Elementary School in Michigan
City received a donation of nearly $50,000 in school supplies from Enchanted
Backpack. This delivery was greeted by Edgewood students, teachers, and staff
in a celebration just outside the school doors. Included in this donation were
classroom supplies, winter coats, hygiene products, books, playground
equipment, and more.
Principal Kristin Smith of Edgewood Elementary said this
donation helps all 369 Edgewood students accomplish much more socially,
emotionally, and academically.
Smith thanked Enchanted Backpack, saying "this generous
gift provides all students with the supplies needed for a successful school
year." These supplies will be distributed to students in need for the
remainder of this school year and next year.
This donation was made possible following a rigorous
application and interview process completed by Smith and Edgewood Elementary
School's Success Coach Nicole Norris.
