Thank you to everyone who generously donated items to the Winter Warm Up collection! Our collection bins were overflowing with so many items that are in such great need. 5-6 STUCO members were able to sort and pack the items. Mrs. K and Mrs. Hookom took the donations to Kyrene Family Resource Center. The volunteers at the center were overwhelmed with the generous donations! Thank you again for helping those in need.
