Back to School and A Successful Backpack Drive

First of all, we want to take a moment to thank everyone for a fantastic backpack drive last month! The BYOB (Bring Your Own Backpack) event was a major success due to the kindness and generosity of our incredible residents. 

Since the launch of RISE, the “Build a Backpack” Drive has had over 165 participating properties around the United States! The drive concluded with the school supply packing event. During the event, attendees packed the collected items, in order to be sent off. 

The event was a total success, and done just in time for the back-to-school season! 

Whether you start later this month or early next month, it’s officially time to start getting ready to go back to school. Which means different things for everyone. It means something different for parents and students of all ages. 

No matter if you are a parent getting their kids ready to go back to their school-time routine, a high-schooler getting ready for early mornings, or a college student about to move back on campus; it’s the ideal time to get everything ready and prepared. 

Being prepared and feeling ready is the best way to succeed in a new school year!
