Have a house full of gently used stuffed animals? Need to clean out after Christmas? Or do you just want to do some good for others. K-Kids can help you with that. K-Kids will be collecting new or gently used stuffed animals at the home basketball games on Monday, January 13th and Thursday, January 16th to donate to the rescue squad for use at wrecks or fire calls. Donation bins will be located at the door when you enter the game. If you are unable to make it to a game, donation bins will be available during the day at school, so you can send those donations in with a student.
