KICKS4KIDS Former MSE Wildcats donated 10 pairs of new tennis shoes to students in need. This group, led by Caleb Cannoy, calls the project, Kicks4Kids. The group of self-motivated MCIS students are on a mission. They recognize the need for students to not just have basic items, but to feel good about them and being included in their peer group. The group chose MSE as its first location for the mission, as the members of the group are all former Wildcats (MSE students) themselves.
