It’s in the bag or at least it will be for incoming freshmen at Great Bend High School.
Drawstring backpacks, courtesy of Nex-Tech, will be handed out to all freshmen students on their first day of school on Aug. 23. Opening day for freshmen is a day earlier than other high school students to allow them a day to become acclimated and meet with their upper-classmen mentors.
Nex-Tech donated 280 “flip bags” through a grant secured by Lacy Wolters, GBHS Career/Act Coordinator. The grant was approximately a $900 donation to help students have a successful first day of high school.
“We would like to thank Nex-Tech for their generous grant to the freshman class,” said Daryl Moore, GBHS assistant principal.
“We are active in the communities we serve and helping support schools is a great way to give back to a community,” said Dustin Schlaefli, director of customer engagement at Nex-Tech.
The bags will be used to hold their first-day packet and orientation materials.
