Backpacks and Gift Cards: Costco Donation Supports Keansburg Students
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent Keansburg School Board meeting, it was announced that Costco made a contribution to the district by donating backpacks to every student, along with two gift cards valued at $500 each to aid in purchasing supplies or snacks. This gesture is a boost to the district’s efforts to support students and families, especially as the school year approaches.
During the meeting, a board member detailed how Costco reached out to the district, offering the donations with no strings attached. The backpacks are set to be distributed across all school levels, from preschool to high school. The gift cards will further support the school’s initiative to provide snacks or additional resources. The board acknowledged Olivia from Costco for coordinating this generous donation, and plans are underway to formally thank Costco for their continued support.
The approval of the renewal of transportation contracts and special education initiatives were highlighted.
Additionally, the board mentioned the resignation of some staff members and welcomed new personnel, including a new nurse at the high school.
