Packademics.

With school right around the corner I wanted to tell you about a great company, Packademics. This company takes all the work out of getting school supplies ready for your child by shipping them directly to you! Not only is this a brilliant idea, but the creative genius behind the company just happens to be one of my closest friends! All you have to do is go to their website, find your child's school and grade and order their pack. It couldn't be any easier and the supplies are the same cost as going to Wal-Mart, you simply pay for shipping. Something special that they do is allow you to donate a pack to a child that is in need of school supplies. There was an event last week for the Girl Scouts called Mall Madness, where the stores in the mall stay open late, there is a Dj and dance floor and the girl scouts have a giant lock-in at the mall. Each girl scout was asked to bring a few school supplies that would be packed up and donated. It was amazing to see how very generous people were with what they brought.



Then at midnight all the girls lined up and we had an assembly line for them to put together packs from the supplies that were brought in. The girls got so excited about helping out and really seemed to understand that they were helping other kids in their own community.

This was also part of a bigger project that Packademics is partnering with KAKE TV on - School Supply Landslide. You can read more about it here.

We ended up putting together about 125 kits to donate! Pretty amazing! I am so glad that I got to be a part of this amazing project that will help out so many children.
