EL PASO, Texas The first day of school, Aug. 2, is right around the corner and one Borderland group is leading the charge in ensuring students are set for success this coming school year.
The Armed Services YMCA started with just 20 backpacks 10 years ago. The goal this year is 500 backpacks. It s not just to Fort Bliss, it s opening to everybody that may have been affected and can benefit from the resources of having a backpack and some school supplies to get the first day of school started,” said Beatriz Ramirez, the program director of the El Paso Armed Services YMCA.

As a business reporter, I write about small businesses opening and closing, manufacturing, food and drink, labor issues and economic data. I particularly love writing about the impact of state and federal policy on local businesses. I also do some education reporting, covering colleges in southeastern Connecticut and regional K-12 issues.
