Connie S. Amaya throws an annual free backpack drive for the students of Central Texas. Each student is able to pick out their own backpack for free. All backpacks are supplied by Connie S. Amaya + family and friends.
Connie S. Amaya retired from Lockhart ISD after serving 46 years. Since 2019, Connie has used her own retirement money to purchase hundreds of backpacks, giving them right back to the community of Lockhart and Uvalde.
Why a Backpack? For many, the backpack is the most costly item on the Back to School list but essential to starting the year off strong. It's also their way of saying to students in the community, "We've got your back...pack!"
