REACH, in conjunction with the Salvation Army, did their annual Toy Drive to benefit children throughout the town. KHS was very generous in their donations of gifts for the children, and we are especially thankful to each and every student and teacher who took the time and effort to contribute to those who could use a little extra help this holiday season. The Salvation Army will be distributing the toys for Christmas!

The KHS REACH club, advised by Mrs. Keim and Ms. Viso, collected and delivered toys donated by staff and students to the Salvation Army this week, demonstrating selflessness, goodwill and compassion in and out of the classroom.
