KZ RV collected 73 backpacks and gift cards to donate to three area elementary schools’ teachers.
The company said the back-to-school drive is part of the manufacturer’s commitment to supporting local educators and enhancing students’ learning environment.
Ryan Juday, president of KZ, said, “As the school year starts, we are proud to assist 73 teachers with backpacks filled with essential items and a gift card to help offset the costs they often cover personally for classroom supplies. Teachers enrich the lives of our children, and this small gesture is our way of showing appreciation. This is our fourth year doing this, and we look forward to continuing this tradition.”
The donations were delivered to Meadowview Elementary School and will be distributed to teachers in kindergarten through fourth grades at that school, Topeka Elementary School and Shipshewana-Scott Elementary School.
“This generous gesture aims to help offset the personal expenses teachers often incur for classroom necessities and to show appreciation for their dedication,” KZ said. “By providing these essential supplies and financial support, KZ Recreational Vehicles hopes to alleviate some of the financial burden on teachers and support their invaluable work in shaping the future of our children.”
