These kits were filled with shampoo, lotion, combs, hairbrushes, toothpaste, toothbrushes and soap. They are perfect for distribution to our needy students \u2013 the program has already distributed kits to both Tynes and Melrose elementary schools. Jon Matson, the McKinney-Vento liaison for PYLUSD, mentioned, &#8220;We are so fortunate to have organizations like ALPHA reach out to us. Their efforts help us stretch our grant dollars, and allow us to focus on much-needed programs for our less-fortunate students. Thank you ALPHA and especially, Ann Ehl and Robin Hardy, our amazing contacts at the organization!&#8221;\u00a0Hygiene can be challenging for families who are in transition, and this wonderful donation really helps PYLUSD\u00a0help its\u00a0students.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5166\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-2.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5167\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-3.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5168\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-4\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/mckinney-vento-alpha-donation-4.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, PYLUSD&#8217;s McKinney-Vento program was fortunate to receive a very generous donation of over 300 toiletry kits from the Assistance League Professional Humanitarian Auxiliary (ALPHA)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1168,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-elementary-school","category-school-district"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
