School’s Cool starts with the basics, a backpack, school supplies, and uniforms to ensure Banyan youth are prepared to succeed on the very first day of school. Our students work hard every day and are supported by dedicated parents, educators, and community partners like you.
As we prepare for the 2026–27 school year, Banyan families and staff are excited to help 175 K–12 students start the year ready to learn, grow, and thrive. We invite you to partner with us by supporting the School’s Cool program!
Your gift will help provide the essential supplies students need to begin the school year with confidence:
- $760 provides backpacks, school supplies, and uniforms for two Banyan youth.
- $380 provides a backpack, school supplies, and uniforms for one Banyan youth.
- $230 provides uniform essentials for one Banyan youth attending a Catholic school.

Every gift, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference and helps ensure that no student starts the school year without the tools they need to succeed.
