First, we had to fill the backpacks with all the supplies (spiral bound notebooks, portfolios, composition notebooks, bottled glue, glue sticks, pencils, scissors, pencil pouch, erasers, crayons, pens (black, blue and red), highlighters, flash cards, tissues, calculators).  With the help of staff from The Carroll Adams Group, Commissioner Sheehan, Officer Young and Chase filled the backpacks on Wednesday, August 18th.
