Lester Backpack Food Program

At BGLE, we provide Friday Food Backpacks to several students. Our mission is that no student goes hungry over the weekend or breaks from school.  We are 100% community funded and are so thankful for our donors. 

If you would like to contribute to our food pantry, any donations can be dropped off in the office.  We kindly ask that no glass or large cans are brought, as they are hard for our students to get home safely."

-Mrs. Hurt, & Ms. Lewis Counselors
