Sixty South Lake Tahoe students will be going to school in style this month after receiving a fully stocked backpack from the Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra (SITS) club.

This week, club members dropped off 20 backpacks at each Live Violence Free, Boys and Girls Club, and Tahoe Youth and Family Services.

Jansport donates the backpacks each year and SITS members purchase the school supplies to go inside.

For more information on the club, which has been serving the community since 1977, or those interested in joining, visit https://sitahoesierra.org/.
