Desert Mountain High School, home of the wolves, hosted a holiday book drive to help kids in need. These high schoolers brought in 2,000 books which will provide 2nd and 3rd graders falling behind in reading with a bigger home library! ASKT is very thankful for Desert Mountain's overwhelming generosity!

Since the Wal-Mart Santa Kid program began in 2005, 24 Wal-Mart Santa Kids have purchased $24,000 worth of toys, clothes, and other items for local children. Each year, Wal-mart selects six local nonproft organizations that serve children to become the recepients of this program. This year, thankfully ASKT was one of the chosen organizations to receive a $1,000 shopping spree. WIth the help of Kaylee, a 5th grade Santa Kid with a will to shop, All-Star received above and beyond what we expected. Kaylee knew how to stretch a dollar and helped us supply kids with much needed school supplies, literacy games, books and much more. Thank you Wal-Mart for allowing us to be apart of this great event! See Pictures.

A big thank you goes out to Cub Scout Troop  and Jr. Girl Scout Troop for their generous act of service to ASKT. These troops donated hundreds of books to help our kids falling behind in reading.
