Acts of Service for Operation Kindness
The K.C. Club otherwise known as the kindness and compassion club has determined their service project for this semester. They plan to advertise among the student body and will be collecting donated items to be donated to Operation Kindness in Carrollton, TX. Donated items are both for the shelter/clinic as well as donating items for "parents" of new adopted animals! We will show our love and support for Operation Kindness and the animals there! http://www.operationkindness.org/opk/?page_id=181
We encourage you to join us in with contributions of pet items. Items may be sent to school during our collection week of March 14-21st. For additional questions contact club sponsor and PSA counselor, Sandy Burrell. #actsofservice
