Every year since 2002 the Livingston Educational Service Agency has given new backpacks filled with school supplies to kids in grades K-12.

Members of the Pencil Box Club remember our back-to-school pencil boxes and want to share that joy with kids today. If you enjoy this book, we hope you will support this project, too.

The purchase price of this book online goes intirely to the manufacturer, Blurb.com, but if you would like to support LESA's Backpacks for Kids project, you can send donations year 'round to LESA, 1425 W. Grand River Avenue, Howell, MI 48855. Make the check out to LESA with a note saying the donation is for Backpacks for Kids.
