To the Editor:

A huge thank you to Princeton-Area businesses and individuals for the generous donation of 102 backpacks filled with school supplies and fun lunchboxes for less-fortunate Princeton Public School students. What an amazing feeling for these Princeton kids to start the school year with a cool lunchbox and a great backpack filled with brand new school supplies. These kids got to walk into school feeling good about themselves and the new school year.

Special thanks to community partners Walmart and Target in Nassau Park, Blue Ridge Mountain Sports and PNC Bank in the Princeton Shopping Center, Princeton University Women’s Soccer Team, Princeton Health Department, and the Princeton Rotary Club. Additionally, we received donations from over 20 Princetonians!

Again, the Princeton-Area community business and individuals made a difference for these young Princeton Public Schools students.
