PAST EVENTS
Pine Street Students Give to Others--November and December
Students were provided the opportunity to wear hats on each Friday during the month of November in exchange for $1.00 that would go toward making care packages for homeless veterans in the Greater Grand Rapids Area. Close to $350.00 were raised allowing for 50 care bags to be put together. The K-kids made the bags that contained everyday essentials: shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste and more. They presented them to Mr. Willie Taylor, representative of the Veterans Pantry, who visited the K-Kids at their meeting January 17th.
Students also donated toys for the Toys-For-Tots Program during the month of December. They delivered the 459 toys to the News 13 drop off and were on the news at 7:00 a.m. that morning.
Thank you to all of the staff, students, and parents that helped in these efforts to reach out and help our community and surrounding communities.
