On behalf of Simpson Elementary School staff and students, we would like to take a moment to send a heartfelt thank you to those who continually support our weekly backpack program! Simpson Creek Baptist Church has donated over $1000 toward the program so far this year! Ridge View Church has donated both gift cards and food! Fellowship Bible Church is our right hand! They supply us with packed bags each month, including storing and shopping for items. The Bridgeport Junior Women's Club provided food bags for ALL holiday breaks. Food has also been donated by students at FSU as well other individuals and families in our Simpson area. Our program absolutely wouldn't be successful without these groups. We appreciate and are sincerely blessed with their continued support and dedication to our community.

We invite all Simpson families to submit photos of their Veterans or Active Duty family members for the slideshow that will be played during the program.
