North DeSoto High School Beta Club is collecting items to create Birthday Kits to donate to Providence House in Shreveport. They are collecting boxed cake mixes, frosting, balloons, birthday banners, sprinkles, birthday cards and candles. Donations can be dropped in our office.

Also, the DeSoto Parish Animal Shelter is recycling old prescription bottles and collecting change to help their shelter. They ask that students fill an old prescription bottle with change and turn it in to your teacher. The class who collects the most money will have a visit from one of the shelter animals.
