SLE Shoe Drive

The South Lebanon Elementary Shoe Drive was a great success! They collected 86 pairs of new children's gym shoes in one week!

Students who donated were given a leaf to put on the tree when they brought a pair of shoes to donate. The tree filled up fast! Kings District Resource Coordinator, Becky Lemon said, "This is pretty fantastic! Thank you to all who participated!"

Kings Kids Toy Drive

South Lebanon Elementary Kings Kids Before and After School Care had their first Holiday Toy Drive which benefited Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

The Holiday Toy Drive ran for two weeks and all donations were delivered the week after Thanksgiving. Students that attend SLE Kings Kids Before and After School programs, along with their family and friends donated an overwhelming amount of toys, games, and other items on Cincinnati Children’s “Gift in Kind Wish List.” according to SLE Kings Kids Staff Member Danielle Smith.

Patients and their parents at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital will be able to shop for gifts for their little ones and their families. Smith said, "Cincinnati Children’s Hospital was overjoyed by SLE Kings Kids' generosity and look forward to teaming up with Kings Kids again in the future."
