Thank You for Helping FOSW!
With the help of our very generous Skinner parents, Friends of Skinner West was able to fulfill the holiday wish lists of 18 Skinner West students.
From coats to puzzles to boots and socks, each of these children received the items they needed to get through the cold winter days as well as some holiday gifts to brighten their day! Thank you to all who donated.
