SoWashCo Schools has been awarded an Innovation in Service Learning Grant from the Minnesota Department of Education. With the support of the grant, Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) and Kids Club will expand on their partnership, which began as an opportunity for AVID students to give back to their community and mentor younger students in the Kids Club program.
AVID students and SoWashCo CARES are asking for your help to reach their goal of $5,000 to provide healthy snacks for students in need.
Donations are being accepted through Friday, Dec. 20.
