THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Many thanks for all of the donations made to our Clothing and Shoe Drive. We were able to donate a lot of clothing items to Save the Family and Helen’s Hope Chest to support homeless students and students in foster care. Shoes were donated to Funds2Orgs, who in turn will provide Arete Prep Athletics with monetary support. We appreciate everyone who made this drive successful! Below is a photo of all of the items that were donated.
