Deets is a word all the cool kids are using these days because they don't have the time or energy to pronounce all the syllables in the word "details." Now that I've taken an entire sentence to explain deets, it might have made more sense to just type details.

So here's the deets on the backpack program this year. There are a few different ways you can serve.

• Backpack sorting, packing, delivery or pickup.
• Backpack Buddies – commit to corresponding with a student for the year. Contact Karen if interested.
