The newly minted East St. John Preparatory Academy and Fifth Ward Elementary School campus is proud to partner once again with Dr. Eliza Eugene and Blessed To Be A Blessing for the Annual Backpack Giveaway event. This impactful community initiative will take place on Saturday, July 19th at the East St. John Preparatory/Fifth Ward Prep campus.
Each year, the Backpack Giveaway provides essential school supplies, learning tools, and resources to help prepare students and families for a strong start to the academic year. It reflects a powerful spirit of giving and a commitment to educational equity within our parish.
We are honored to support this effort not only by helping spread the word but also by encouraging a day of service for our district leaders, who will be on site to assist, uplift, and connect with our families.
Families are encouraged to arrive early, as supplies are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
