The Season of Giving!

Ladies, in the name of art (FASHION) donate your used prom dresses this Saturday to support the HUG fund. You know you'll never wear them again. Read the article below for exact dates and times.



Donate prom dresses to benefit HUG fund



Kickapoo High School is soliciting prom dress donations for a spring sale to benefit its Helping Us Graduate fund. The HUG fund was initiated to assist independent students pay for important senior year activities such as prom, senior portraits or graduation.

The first day to donate prom dresses is Saturday, Dec. 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Library Center, 4653 S. Campbell Ave, or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at The Library Station, 2535 N. Kansas Expressway. Donations will be accepted at the same times and locations on Jan. 14 and Feb. 25.


The prom dress sale will be Friday, March 30, and Saturday, March 31.  

Living on their own without parental support, many KHS independent students struggle to pay for necessities and lack the resources to pay for the extras that make senior year special, explained KHS school nurse Tammy Holley, who helped create the fund along with a former KHS student council member.
“These are things independent students miss out on since they are paying for their own living expenses,” Holley said. “This fundraiser will help us bolster the HUG fund so that we can also help independent students meet some of their daily needs like transportation and necessities.”
For more information, contact Holley at (417) 523-8530 or tholley@spsmail.org.
