By spending just 5 minutes sorting through your or your younger sibling’s closet, you can find shoes that will make a child’s entire year. Please bring your lightly used shoes in grocery bags marked with sizes to the collection bin in the cafeteria, and see Rachel Heuver, Mrs. Boyll, or Mrs. Anderson with questions.
