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.
