Tree of Remembrance

Thanks to Ms. Kephart's third grade class at Steadley Elementary in Carthage, MO for decorating the ornaments to hang on our First Tree of Remembrance at the Northpark Mall in Joplin.

Each ornament has an item listed from our Holiday Wish List that can be purchased and brought to the Shelter for the animals this holiday season.
