A bookbag for Katie to be prepared for senior year

Posted Aug 3, 2023
Katie will be starting her senior year of HS in September. It's school policy that she has a transparent bookbag to hold her belongings and school items. Katie is excited about this chapter and is looking forward to graduation. Having what she needs for school will help her feel most prepared.

Katie is 18 years old and lives in NJ

Katie is a loving and caring young lady who recently aged out of foster care and just got her first apartment. The hardest part about having been in foster care was being away from her brother, which continues to be a challenge, but she hopes to have a consistent relationship with them one day. Katie is a cosmetology student and will be graduating with her esthetician license in February 2025. During that time, she will also have her first baby. She has been working at Five Below since the summer of 2023 but is currently on leave due to her pregnancy.
