Don't forget the shoes! We are asking that when you are out shopping for new running shoes or apparel you purchase a pair of shoes in the size ranges of toddler 5's - up through young adults. Please bring them with you to Believe! and drop them off at the St. Andrew's information tent. Our Pair to Care initiative is hoping to collect enough shoes so that no child in McKinney ISD has inadequate shoes. As a community we could grant this special Christmas wish, simply because we believed!
Kids don't miss out on the Great Santa Chase! Bring your children for this fun race with Santa! Lace up those shoes and see if you can catch St. Nick and his bag of goodies! Each child will receive a special treat bag from Santa!
