Helping Games

Helping Games

What an amazing kickoff to the 2025 Helping Games. Our first week was a huge success with over 2,700 food items donated to ECHO. Thank you to all of the students, families, and staff who donated and a special thank you to the parent volunteers who helped pack items and deliver items to ECHO. Next week we start our Shoe Drive! Please send in new or gently used shoes. Donations should be pre-tied, rubber-banded, or zip-tied together, if possible. Let’s keep up the great helping Kangas.
