We want to say a huge THANK YOU for the difference you make as a generous supporter.
At the start of the school year, many students are a bundle of nerves and excitement. Remember what it was like? Getting your backpack in order. Trying on your school uniform, picking your stationery and double-checking the book list. Nowadays, you can also add a laptop to the key items too.
For many students experiencing disadvantage, going back to school can be tough financially. Families may have to decide what to buy for school – and what to go without.
And this is why we want to say a HUGE thanks to you.
Your ongoing support helps your student access the educational essentials all children need to start confidently and get the most out of this school year. The Smith Family CEO Doug Taylor wants to remind you that students are starting on the right foot, thanks to your support.
