Ponca City clubs donate to schools

Members of the Ponca City Aviation booster club and Ponca City Aviation Foundation donated Wal-Mart gift cards to the clothes closets of all the elementary and middle schools, and Marland Children’s home.

They do this during the cold months.

School personnel use the gift cards to buy any clothing individual students need.

Lincoln Elementary principal, Dr. Maurissa Pruett presented a PowerPoint presentation at the organizations January meeting.

The presentation explained why there is a need in Ponca City and exactly what the schools do with the donations.

Funds for this project are earned from the organization’s fundraising, mainly the monthly fly-in breakfast.
