Financial Assistance for Students needing PE Shoes In partnership with the Republic County Elementary School, Pike Valley Elementary School, Faithworks, and the Republic County Resource Council; In this community based project, local groups are coming together to combine funds to assist families in need of assistance for the purchase of tennis shoes for the 2024-2025 school year. We all know that tennis shoes are costly items, and often an item that can be difficult for some families to provide for their students. We would like to assist in this issue so that it is not such a financial burden for our local families. Our funds are limited and are on a first come, first serve basis to elementary school students. Families in need may purchase tennis shoes and present receipts to Audrey or Karla at the Republic County Hospital for a reimbursement of $50 for shoes. Please remember that this is on a first come, first serve basis and that receipts must be present for the reimbursement. Stop by the school and get a signed certificate to put with your receipt. With questions please call Karla at 785-527-9171.
