Soles for Souls
The 6th grade is hosting a shoe drive to help the children in Haiti…..take a look at the power point presentation above that explains it all. There are several drop off boxes around the school. In the library, when a pair of shoes are donated, we put up a paper shoe on the wall. We are trying to make the shoes walk around the library at least once!
Please bring your unwanted and gently worn shoes to school.
