Giving back to our community and honoring a fellow graduate


We are asking all attendees to bring a new/unused child's backpack filled with new school supplies (listed below) that will be donated to the special education department of Fresno Unified School District. The backpacks are being collected in honor of Chris Ridge, a fellow graduate who passed away in June of 2008. Chris was passionate about his position working with special education students, and this project will serve to honor his memory and allow graduates of the class of 1989 an opportunity to give back to our community. If you cannot bring a backpack, you can donate $20 and a backpack will be purchased and filled in your name. THANK YOU class of 1989!


Backpack Project Supplies List:
1-Pack of pencils
1-Pack/box of crayons
1-Pack of markers
1-Pack of colored pencils
Erasers
1-Pencil box
Glue Sticks
1-Pair safety scissors
1-Box of Kleenex tissues
1-Pack of hand sanitizing wipes
