And just like that, our 3,250 pairs of shoes donated by the Portage community are on their way with Funds2Orgs to destinations around the world!
Our last big THANK YOU goes to our student Career Explorers. They were on the front lines of the shoe drive from beginning to end. These scholars sorted, bagged, and moved our donations to storage throughout the fundraiser, even tagging and loading the bags today. They did this in addition to our main office responsibilities. THANK YOU!
Thank you Portage and all of Kalamazoo County for your support! Winston sincerely appreciates you!

Mrs. Hively's students had the chance to LEARN, MAKE & GROW with Mrs. Cote in the library this week. As they learned about Temple Grandin, the students tested out a few experiments & tried "thinking like an inventor." Great work Pioneers!
