On behalf of the GCR1 staff and students, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who supported our Backpack Program!
A heartfelt thank you goes out to every individual, family, business, and organization who participated—whether by making an individual donation, hosting an event to collect monetary donations or supplies, or simply spreading the word about this important program.
Because of your generosity, our students are being set up for success not only at the beginning of the school year, but throughout the entire year! Your kindness and support make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and families.
A HUGE THANK YOU also goes to Mackenzie Krull for generously offering back-to-school haircuts during our supply pick-up day! What a wonderful way to give back and help our students feel confident and ready to start the school year. ✂️💙
We are so fortunate to live in such a caring and supportive community. Thank you for showing up for our students and for helping make the Backpack Program possible!
You all are the best! 🐾💙
With sincere gratitude,
Krystal Witthaus
