At Assistance League’s Discovery Day, the children received new books and healthy lunches and participated in a fun dance exercise. They also learned about the conservation of cheetahs at the zoo. New athletic shoes are fitted on approximately 3,500 St. Louis-area school children each year by Assistance League volunteers who also travel to elementary schools to fit children in grades K through 4.
