Kicks for Kids

Branham High School and Del Mar High School put on their annual Kicks for Kids fundraiser. High school students raise money to buy shoes from Payless Shoe Source for Payne Panthers! The high school  students "buddy up" with a Payne student to play games, paint faces, and walk to Payless. There, each Payne student receives a free pair of shoes. What an incredible afternoon with some amazing kids!
