Bayer CropScience Backpack Program Helps Kids Learn

"Children can't learn well when they're  hungry. We can tell when they come to school and they haven't eaten. They're not motivated, their energy level is low, they might even be angry. When they have eaten, they're happy, motivated - they almost skip on their way to class. So we say: Thank you, on behalf of the students at Eastway Elementary School, for providing food so our kids can keep on learning."

- Eastway Elementary School Principal Star Sampson
