We are so close to reaching Mrs. O’Neil’s Hawk Huddle goal of 10,000 shoe donations!

With the end of the year coming up, we need one final push to get there. Every pair makes a difference!

You can drop off shoes at the school, and students can earn service hours for their donations if their name is listed on the donation. Let’s come together and finish strong!
