The PreK–4th grade teachers are excited to host a special “Safety Day” for our students on the afternoon of May 15th.

We’re planning a fun, educational day—and we’d love your support! We are currently looking for the following donations:
12 dozen large popsicles
200 assorted fun-size candy bars or candies
In addition, we’re hoping to offer some safety-themed giveaways at the end of the event. Some of the items we’re looking to collect include:
Life jackets (4)
Bikes (2–4)
Sunscreen
Bike lights
Goggles
Bike helmets
If you or your organization would like to donate items or make a cash contribution toward one or more of these giveaways, please reach out to Jen Klumb at Jennifer.Klumb@k12.sd.us.
