More than 300 backpacks full of notebooks, pencils and markers were changing hands and going to local elementary school kids as a way to prepare for the upcoming year.
"All the founders are educators, Black male educators, and we realized we're only here because someone took the time and service to expose us to different things that contributed to our success," Noel said.The goal is not just to help with supplies, but other services like haircuts and hair braiding during a time that can be financially tough for parents.
"We feel like in a public school we want to make sure they are provided with all the basic supplies, so we can really focus on student achievement," Soussoudis said.
