Some students are headed back to class with new supplies – all thanks to the Republican National Committee’s south Omaha center.

People stuffed backpacks for students on Wednesday at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School. The school’s principal says events like this ensure students have what they need to learn. “It just gives them that confidence to go in, to know they are no different from the other students even though they might come from a family in need,” Andrew Bauer said. Republican Congressman Don Bacon was also present.

“We have the opportunity to help, and we want to let the families know that we care, that we’re part of the community,” Bacon said

Students got things like pencils, crayons and notebooks. (Excerpts from KETV 7 ABC Omaha)
