PACKING EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Welcome!
The Back to School of Rhode Island (BTSRI) is a 501 C3 non-profit organization created to involve parents in the education of their children, thereby helping to create an atmosphere of trust and open communication between schools, students and families. In 1999, BTSRI organized its first event in one single location and distributed 600 backpacks full of school supplies to school children in the Providence area.
