While students are enjoying summer break, some spent Thursday night at Elks Lodge to begin collecting school supplies.

The 3rd Annual Backpack for Carnival for Kids was a chance for underprivileged students of Duluth to play games and win school supplies as prizes.

The kids filled up their backpacks with notebooks, pens, pencils, and more, and got ready for another school year, that’s not all that far away.

“A lot of the people who have come in have thanked us so much, they said that we’re really helping them out by helping their dollars go further for their school year with the extra supplies that we have,” explained Nancy Udovich, a trustee at Elks Lodge.

Thursday night, 125 kids attended the carnival.
