THES SOAR Cart Donations
Our Thunderbirds are working hard this year to demonstrate THES's SOAR behaviors! They're earning DOJO points for Showing Kindness, Including Others, Showing Respect to Others, and Being Responsible — and can use those points to shop at the SOAR cart every other week. The SOAR Team is looking for creative ways to keep the cart stocked.
Use the Amazon Wish List below to have an item sent directly to the school.
