Ponderosa Panda's Taking Action Again!
Our Panda's collected 750 Pounds of food during our food drive! That's 47 boxes filled!
Up next, our Student Council is hosting a SHOE DRIVE during the months of December and January. Yes - Shoes - gently worn shoes! Bring in your gently worn and used shoes to school and the Student Council will ship them to Soles4Souls, a company that redistributes gently worn shoes to people in need. There will be boxes in the foyer for all shoe donations. Nothing to buy, just clean out your closets and donate. Talk to your families and friends as well in order to get as many shoes recycled as possible! If you can tie the laces together or band them together, it would be very helpful!
