Packz 4 Kidz in Rifle

Packz 4 Kidz has grown and not only serves families in our Kenzi’s Kidz program but serves any child in need of new school supplies. As a former teacher for Denver Public Schools, our Founder saw first-hand children arriving on the first day of school without the necessary supplies to be successful and feel like everyone else. It is our goal this year to provide 250 low-income children with new backpacks full of school supplies to ensure they start the first day of school with the confidence and supplies they need to be successful.

Each child will be able to pick out a new backpack full of school supplies.  Water bottles and lunch boxes will be given out on a first come, first served basis as we cannot guarantee one for every child.
 
Having a backpack full of school supplies can help children to be well-prepared, organized, and confident as they embark on their academic journey.
  1. Preparedness: Children who have all of the necessary supplies for their classes are more prepared to participate in class activities and complete homework assignments.
  2. Organization: Having a backpack with all the necessary supplies can help children stay organized and reduce the likelihood of losing or misplacing items.
  3. Confidence: Starting the school year with a fully stocked backpack can give children a sense of pride and confidence, making them more eager to engage in their studies.
  4. Equality: Providing children with the supplies they need helps to level the playing field and ensure that all students have equal access to resources.
  5. Learning: School supplies such as pencils, paper, and textbooks are essential for learning and are necessary for children to fully participate in the educational process.
