Thanks to the Salem Luthern Women for organizing an amazing shoe drive this year. There are many people who made these 40 pairs of shoes possible. These shoes were paid for by the Salem Luthern Church members, donated Thrivent cards and private donors. Shoe sensation in mitchell gave us a 20 percent discount and Runnings provided a 15 percent discount!
Soon snow boots will be coming in!
Huge shout out to Nancy Lorenz for all her hatd work and dedication to our students at Parkston School district. We couldnt do this without her.
This donation will go towards making a difference in the lives of Trojan students. :)
