Our very own Gideon Pfeffer has been chosen as a 🌟Telethon Star 🌟 for the upcoming 42nd Annual Telethon for the Kenny Rogers Children's Center in Sikeston, MO. Southwest students and staff are going to be given the opportunity to help raise funds so that children from our area can continue to receive therapies free of charge. On Friday, March 25th the students and staff will be able to donate $1 (or more) to wear a hat to school for the day. Mrs. Kruse will collect the money throughout the day and get it to the family that evening so that Gideon will be able to present it the following day at the event. Student notes will be sent home March 23rd or 24th. Please mark your calendars.
Further information can be found at https://kennyrogerscenter.org regarding services provided, scheduled events for the telethon day, etc.
