We are pleased to donate a PE Care Package to McKay Elementary in Beaverton. Laurie Greif, the school Social Worker, picked up a range of shoes as well as playground equipment. The range of shoes ensures that children that may not have appropriate gym shoes can now use a loaner to participate in class. The playground balls, soccer balls, wiffle ball equipment, and cones will enhance recess and fun for all!
