Math 4 Success, an educational organization devoted to enhancing learning opportunities and academic performance, will host its annual Back-to-School Backpack Event this Sunday, August 27, 2023. Taking place from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Bailey Park in the McDougall-Hunt Detroit Community, the event aims to equip students with the basic supplies they need for a successful school year.
Math 4 Success’s Executive Director, John Anderson, expressed excitement about the organization’s persistent endeavors to uplift students. “Education is the cornerstone for a brighter future,” Anderson said. “With the Back-to-School Backpack Event, we’re not just handing out materials; we’re removing educational barriers and creating opportunities for success.”
Founded with a focus on academic excellence and equitable access to quality education, Math 4 Success has long been a supporter of leveling the educational playing field for all students. This event is no exception. Backpacks stocked with crucial school supplies like notebooks, pens, pencils, and rulers will be distributed to students free of charge.
Parents and families attending the event will also find additional resources to better prepare for the upcoming academic year. Beyond the backpack distribution, there will be various activities designed to engage students and help them get ready for school.
Leron Lightfoot, founder and CEO of Math 4 Success, also highlighted the organization’s understanding of the financial challenges many families endure when it comes to educational preparation. “We’ve designed our Back-to-School Backpack Event to mitigate some of the financial strains families experience,” Lightfoot said. “We aim to kick-start the school year on a high note, not just for the students but for their families as well.”
Math 4 Success’s ultimate goal is a nationwide transformation of community resources to offer students the best chances for academic achievement. Their Back-to-School Backpack Event is a concrete manifestation of this overarching mission, and it signals their ongoing commitment to empowering the next generation through education.
