For several years the Office of Community Relations has been conducting a Winter Coats Drive for needy students in our school district, whose families can't afford to buy them a winter coat due to financial hardship.  For a child, a brand new coat can be more than just a coat - not only helps to keep him/her warm, but also can change a child's life and empower him/her with greater self-confidence, peer acceptance, increasing his/her school attendance and overall wellness.
