Back Pack Program
The Back Pack Weekend Food Program, Inc. (BWFP) provides a bag of nutritionally-balanced food options for
students in need to take home on the weekend so they can return to school ready to learn. Each bag contains
food items that are nonperishable and individually portioned. The BWFP is designed using a partnership model. Each school has an assigned partner who packs the food bags and delivers them to the school weekly. Once received, a the school counselor (Ms. Scronce) will distribute food bags to students to take home.

School-Based Therapy is a therapy service that is offered at all Gaston County Schools. Tryon Elementary School works with Kintegra Health for all school-based therapy services. SBT promotes emotional health for students within their school setting. Therapists work directly with caretakers and school staff to identify students who may benefit from therapeutic services.
