Wilson’s World: Wilson is with Classroom Central at Reid Park Academy School

Classroom Central and Two Men and a Truck will suprise kids at Reid Park Academy with backpacks full of supplies.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. –  Students at Reid Park Academy were getting ready to have a great Monday morning thanks to Classroom Central.  Wilson was at the school when volunteers with Classroom Central and Two Men and a Truck arrived to pass out backpacks containing school supplies to all of the students at Reid Park Academy School which is only 1 of 10 schools that they will be visiting to pass out backpacks.

Classroom Central’s Backpacks and Basics program has been a big success thanks to partners like Two Men and a Truck and Belk.  Today over 900 students at Reid Park Academy will be receiving backpacks that include the basic supplies such as paper, pencils, erasers and rulers that the kids will need for school.

The mission of Classroom Central is to give students who live in poverty the school supplies they need to succeed in the classroom.  Classroom Central covers schools in Charlotte Mecklenburg, Gaston, Iredell/Statesville, Union, the City of Kannapolis, and Lancaster, SC.  To find out more about Classroom Central and how you can help go to their website at classroomcentral.org.
