A box of markers is reached for as the Sheridan Angels count school supplies in preparation for filling backpacks on Friday at the Sheridan Angels’ office. The Angels filled 450 backpacks with school supplies for students in grades K–12 in Sheridan County School Districts 1, 2, and 3–including charter schools. The backpacks were filled with donations by the community over the past several months. Mason credits the Salvation Army, Cornerstone Church, Zowada Recycling and Steel, and Steve’s Truck Service as major contributors for donating the supplies to the Sheridan Angels. This year’s backpack drive is more ambitious than the previous year, since the Angels are covering all grades instead of just the elementary grades from last year. The backpacks were to be delivered to the school districts on Monday, August 18. The schools will distribute the backpacks to the students per direction of each school’s counselors.
