Stephen’s Backpack: Dream Out Loud

Royal Oak Students are continuing to support Stephen’s Backpacks Society for Children in Need 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.

In the near future, Stephen’s Mom will be joining us for a special assembly. All parents are invited to attend. Please stay tuned for that date!

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 a backpack. Our goal is to fill 100 backpacks.
