Washington's Donation Tree 

 

For the past 20 years Washington has had a tree placed in the front foyer to collect hats, mittens, and gloves for needy children in Norman.  This year we will be doing it a little different. Sunshine, our own therapy dog, is asking that we collect for the Norman Animal Shelter. 

 

Items that are needed:

  • Canned dog and cat food. The wet pate, not the sliced kind
  • Towels to place in dog kennels
  • Any toys that the animals would like to play with in the kennels

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact Amber Bui at 366-5984 or abui@norman.k12.ok.us
