THE MITTEN TREE IS HERE!! Information went home today concerning the Mitten Tree. It’s actually the mitten, glove, hat, scarf and socks tree!! We are collecting new items to put on the tree. At the end of the month, the Running Club will be sorting, counting and boxing up the items and then the boxes will be taken to Starfish Family Services, an organization in Wayne County that services those people in need in Wayne County. I hope you can help!
