Coins for Coats Update


WOW!!!

Union Hill Wolves have done amazing bringing in coins for coats!  Our bucket was full on the first day, so we have been using the box below to collect coins in.  I feel so honored to work with teachers and students who are this giving to others.  I'm not sure how much money we raised yet, but I will let you all know when I find out.  Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this great cause!

The last day to donate coins is this Friday, October 26th.
