More Donations for Savory Students!

By Jim Cambridge on 9/23/2011 8:08 AM
The spirit of generosity within the community is amazing.  As you may be aware from previous blogs, all Savory students have had their school supplies replaced.  As of today, we have also had the Santa's Anonymous donate $2200 to the PAC (Parent Advisory Council) to help compensate for lost fund-raising supplies and opportunities, as well as $1500 for any lost student items.  Further the Gary Oak Chapter of IODE brought in 12 pair of running shoes to help replace student shoes lost in the fire.  Thank you very much for your generosity!
