We plan to give back to an important organization in our community, Mel Trotter Ministries. Mel Trotter Ministries helps the homeless people who are in need. One small way we can help is to create shoeboxes. Let’s work together to fill 50 shoeboxes for Mel Trotter’s Homeless Shelter. You may make a monetary donation or bring in supplies. You may bring in items or money to Mrs. Vogel. We will work on shoeboxes at our November meeting and after school. Shoeboxes will be delivered in the last week of November.
