Ho! Ho! Ho! Did you know there are only three more days to turn in toys for the Toy Drive benefiting Ashley Elementary School and the Denver Indian Health and Family Services Center? Some of the children will receive their only gift for the holidays from our toy drive. We need your help to put a smile on those sweet faces! You can help by reminding your students that time is running short and we need more toys! We will be sorting toys on Saturday morning and wrapping them Monday after school, so it is important to have the majority of the toys by Friday. We know the Warrior spirit will come through and we will make those children smile!!!
