Allison Elementary Wishlist Drive
Kiker is sponsoring an Amazon wishlist drive for our sister school, Allison Elementary, located in the Montopolis community of East Austin. Allison has been hit incredibly hard by the pandemic. Let's show our support by sending essential supplies for learning and staying warm this winter! Helping to meet these basic needs can remove obstacles to learning and provide a bit of relief to Allison's struggling families.
Items purchased from THIS WISHLIST will be sent directly to Allison Elementary. Be sure to select Allison Elementary as the shipping address at checkout.
Get to Know the Staff: Each week we will feature a few staff members and their "I Am Kiker" poem.
