Western Oaks Middle School softball players wanted to give back to their community, so they raised funds and collected donations to create hygiene bags for City Center. Students packed each one with toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, and other everyday essentials for girls and boys. Before they zipped them up, every bag got a fun sticker; just one small extra meant to brighten someone’s day.
