Caitlin Clark surprises DMPS students with backpacks, school supplies
DES MOINES, Iowa — Caitlin Clark surprised students at North High School with “Back to School Backpacks” and spent time encouraging student athletes.
On Friday afternoon over 350 backpacks filled with school supplies and other essentials were distributed to public and parochial students in the Des Moines community.
“I know how fortunate I was to have a strong education and access to tools that allowed me to be successful in the classroom,” said Caitlin Clark.
The backpacks were provided by Nike and stuffed with school supplies donated by Hy-Vee and water bottles supplied by Gatorade.
“School supplies are essential for every student’s learning and development, and The Caitlin Clark Foundation is grateful to our sponsors for their support in making this event possible” Caitlin commented.
The event was hosted by the Caitlin Clark Foundation which is a non-profit organization which focuses on education, nutrition and sport. Caitlin hopes her foundation will help students be successful in school and gain confidence in learning.
