"As a mom of 3, school shopping adds up quickly. What means the most is that my kids still get to make their own choices, picking out shoes and a backpack they really like. That choice makes them so proud to walk into school on their first day. My kids look forward to it every year!"

— Kathryn
"My favorite part was picking my own backpack. It has space for all my stuff and I had fun playing games with my friends."

—Sarah, Age 7
“The outpouring of generosity from all corners of the community resulted in hundreds of children & families able to start the school year fully prepared to learn & succeed.”

—Dr. Scott Elliot, FORMER Watauga County Schools Superintendent
"I got black Nike's and they look really cool and help me run fast. I can't wait to wear them on my first day."

— Chris, Age 13
"The driving force is the excitement that you see here. You have kids so excited to get their backpacks and they’re showing their teachers their new backpack and they’re showing off their new shoes and it’s just exciting to see the excitement on these kid’s faces — makes it all worth it."

—Kendra Sink, Back 2 School Festival Coordinator
