SOCKTOBER 2014


There are 600,000 people without a home on any given night in the United States.  This October, SoulPancake and Kid President want one million people to prove that even the smallest acts of love, like donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of the homeless!  (http://soulpancake.com/socktober/)

Over the next few days, students will be working on promoting our Socktober project in a variety of ways.  Examples of student projects include the following:  video, newspaper article, Glogster, poster, flyer, mug design, t-shirt design, yard sign, bulletin board design, and VideoScribe story. 

The first graders are super excited to be leading this charge.  The conversation we’ve heard between them is truly joyful noise.  We will be collecting socks through the end of the month.  Students will be creating the items listed above and we will use these pieces to promote and share this project in the communities.  Only FIRST NAMES will be placed on the various student projects.  Please sign and return the form below giving us permission to share your student’s wonderful work.  We would like the form returned ASAP.  Please call or email your child’s teacher with any questions.  Keep checking our classroom blogs to see how your child is making a difference in the lives of many!

Mrs. Happel & Ms. Upah
