K-8 Service Outreach Project Continues This Week
Robin Telfian, a St. Michael’s parent, oversees a non-profit called Shood that is “dedicated to providing new and gently used athletic shoes to homeless individuals and those who are living in poverty in Richmond.” As part of a school-wide service outreach initiative, St. Michael’s is partnering with Shood to collect gently-used shoes and personal care items through February 25. Our students will then assemble foot care bags for Shood. Each grade will collect a different item.
