You can help with a warm coat on Nov. 4th and 5th!

Edmunds 4th grader Genesis Latimore was a nervous but excited guest on FM radio’s Pulse 101.7 morning show, hosted by radio personality Rachel Leigh. Genesis was interviewed about the Annual Winter Warmth Drive that many Edmunds students have benefited from in past years. Edmunds students received well over 100 coats and 100 sets of hats and mittens from the drive last year! Genesis was helping get the word out via Pulse 101.7 about the “Winter Warmth Drive” collaboration that collects gently used or new coats, jackets, hats, gloves, blankets, snow boots and snow pants for those who are unable to purchase these items for themselves.
