Gene Pike Middle School Student Donates 105 Backpacks for School Supply Drive

Gene Pike Middle School student Hayleigh Hutyra delivered 105 backpacks for the annual “Tools for School” school supply drive sponsored by NISD Partners in Education.  Hutyra has been assisting with the NISD school supply drive for several years.  She established Baking for Backpacks in 2009, selling homemade treats in order to raise money for backpacks.  Her donation will provide many students with the tools they need to begin the new school year.  Northwest ISD Partners in Education would like to thank the community for the generous donations made during the 2012 “Tools for School” School Supply Drive. The Partners in Education program needs assistance packing backpacks and supplies July 16-19 and distributing supplies to schools in early August.  If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact Partners in Education Specialist Phil Beckman at 817-215-0172 or pbeckman@nisdtx.org.
