Some South Lake Tahoe students in grades K-12 will be going to school on Monday with a backpack full of supplies filled up and donated by Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra.
Every year the group launches "Backpack Attack" to ensure students in need will have a new backpack and school supplies. JANSPORT donated 50 backpacks this year, and club members donated the items to go inside.
The backpacks are going to the families of clients at Live Violence Free.
