Coats for Sac Kids // Chamarra para estudiantes de Sac
Sacajawea Families,
Our amazing donor was able to drop off the donated coats to Sac this week. Coats have been organized and will be ready to go home with your student by the end of this week.
We will try our BEST to get your student the coat that best fits them.
If your child already has a coat and doesn't need a new one or if you wish to not have your student receive a coat, please email Mrs. Hernandez at hhernandez1@caldwellschools.org or call her at 208-455-3333 ext 1439 to let her know.
We are extremely thankful for caring and amazing community members that make things like these possible!
