Yesterday, McDonald Elementary held its Coat Drive, an effort to make sure families in our community have the warmth they need as the colder months arrive.
The event offered even more for families to take home. Thanks to the Pass the Play Foundation, gently used sports equipment was available, including cleats, baseball bats, gloves, and more. Having the right gear can open the door for kids to join a team, try a new sport, or simply stay active and have fun with friends. Families could also pick up math, reading, and technology resources to support learning at home.
Events like this show the strength of our community and the value of community engagement. When schools, families, and community partners come together, children are better prepared to learn, play, and thrive.
