School Supplies

Kids can't learn if they're worried they don't have the tools they need to be successful.Every summer, the Olathe Public Schools Foundation fills approximately 2,500 backpacks with school supplies to help ensure every student has what they need to start school and be ready to learn. Your support will mean a lot to Olathe students.

If your child is in need of a backpack and/or school supplies, contact their school directly.
