Character Counts Gym Shoe Collection
Don't forget to send in your old gym shoes next week. Shoes that are no longer usable will be sent to the Nike recycling center to be made into new items such as floor mats. Shoes that can be reused will be donated to people in need. Please keep the pairs of shoes together by tying or placing together in a plastic bag. Thanks in advance for helping us show that "character counts" at Prairieview School!
