Backpack Distribution:
Tulalip and other Native students took part in the annual backpack and
supply distribution on August 27th.  This is the first year for the event
to be held at the Don Hatch Jr. Youth Center.  The new location provided

well as new ones for this year.  Along with the new backpacks and supplies,
students enjoyed lunch and snacks, visited information booths, and

distributed over 1400 backpacks this year.
