Students may continue to add to our Walnut Kindness Padlet: https://padlet.com/jhogue9/arw40ptjnutppn1a
We want to thank our Walnut Kindness Crew for keeping us motivated!
Soon, we will begin a shoe drive to collect gently used sneakers. Brian Williams will be traveling to Africa at the end of March to deliver them personally. Children living in this particular area are only able to attend school if they have shoes. Stay tuned for more information going home soon.
