As the fall season ushers in new beginnings and the start of a new school year, Royle Printing is excited to continue its cherished tradition of hosting the annual backpack drive for the children and grandchildren of its employees. This year, 52 students, ranging from preschool to high school, have signed up to receive backpacks and gift cards to purchase school supplies for the year ahead. This event has become a staple of the Royle Printing culture, bringing together employees and their families in support of the next generation’s educational journey. "We look forward to this event and tradition every year," said Chris Carpenter, President and owner of Royle Printing. There’s something so exciting about the fall and the start of a new school year. Since I bought the business in the early 2000s, this has always been something I eagerly anticipate. It’s been neat to see the students grow through the years, with some even joining the team as Royle associates. I hope everyone has a prosperous school year ahead."
