  <title><![CDATA[Get Involved in the Buzzin’ Back to School Backpack Drive ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech Human Resources&nbsp;(GTHR) has kicked off its&nbsp;tenth&nbsp;annual&nbsp;Buzzin&rsquo; Back to School&nbsp;Backpack&nbsp;Drive!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This annual school supply drive benefits Georgia Tech employees who&nbsp;need support&nbsp;equipping&nbsp;their children in grades K-12&nbsp;with school supplies.&nbsp;Over the last nine years, thanks to your generosity,&nbsp;we have&nbsp;given out&nbsp;more than&nbsp;4,000&nbsp;backpacks!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This year,&nbsp;GTHR has&nbsp;partnered with&nbsp;<a href="https://schoolkitz.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">SchoolKitz.com</a>&nbsp;to offer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.brightschoolkitz.com/Store/School/26095" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">pre-packaged supply kits</a>. This will&nbsp;streamline the&nbsp;donation&nbsp;process&nbsp;and make sure&nbsp;all backpacks are filled&nbsp;uniformly.&nbsp;The deadline to order supplies from&nbsp;SchoolKitz&nbsp;is&nbsp;Tuesday, June 29.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although we strongly encourage the use of the kits, we will&nbsp;still accept&nbsp;individual&nbsp;supplies dropped off at Georgia Tech Human Resources&nbsp;until&nbsp;Friday,&nbsp;July&nbsp;23.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Need a backpack?&nbsp;</strong><br />
The deadline to&nbsp;<a href="https://gatech.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8jnuMIfTFuD0hym" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">request a backpack</a>&nbsp;is Friday, July 16.&nbsp;Backpacks will be distributed on&nbsp;Thursday,&nbsp;July 29 and&nbsp;Friday,&nbsp;July 30.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
