NDMS Yearbook has begun their fall fundraiser, collecting gently worn or new shoes, to help raise money for local North DeSoto families impacted by Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. Not only will you help local families, but the shoes also get a second life, helping others in need. It’s a double donation! Yearbook will be collecting gently worn or new shoes during morning assembly through November 20. Please help us reach our goal of filling 100 bags. #bettertogether #BringUsYourShoes #NDMSShoeDrive #GriffinPride #GriffinStrong #GriffinFamily
