👟💙 We are so grateful for Kids of Kanawha!
Before the first bell of the school year rang, they made sure students across Kanawha County were prepared by donating brand-new shoes to:
Pratt Elementary • Riverside High • Dupont Middle • Malden Elementary • Edgewood Elementary • West Side Middle • Mary C. Snow West Side Elementary • Flinn Elementary • Capitol High • Hayes Middle • Cedar Grove Elementary
Their generosity is a wonderful reminder of how strong our community is when we come together to support students. Thank you, Kids of Kanawha, for investing in our children and helping them start the year with confidence! 🙌✨
