THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK
YOU
We collected OVER 1,230
pairs of SOCKS!
As our Socktober sock drive draws to an end, I want to extend many
thanks to all of you for supporting this project. This project couldn’t and wouldn’t have been
successful without your support and participation. We were able to find many outlets for
children to be engaged in learning opportunities, work to help relieve a real
world problem and instill the idea that the gift of giving is truly great. The amount of time, energy and enthusiasm
students and their families attacked this challenge with is truly inspiring and
a moment in my career I will never forget.
It’s funny how children have a way of teaching the adults in their lives
how important the simplest things really are.
Most of the socks collected are being donated to the Olivet
Neighborhood Mission Clothing Closet in Cedar Rapids. The Olivet
Neighborhood Mission’s purpose is to reach persons of all ages with programs
and services to meet their particular needs, exhibiting the Christian ideal of
serving out of love and compassion. The
Olivet Neighborhood Mission touches the lives of over 55,000 yearly. Its targeted populations are individuals and
families living in poverty, homeless, disabled, or single family units. All services are provided without regard to
age, race, color, gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or
disability. All programs and services
are offered free of cost to those in need.
Mrs. Bishop spoke to the students about where the socks
would be donated. It is obvious that the
students are extremely excited to give to those in need.
Again, thank you for supporting your student through this project. Please let me know if you have any questions
or concerns.
Shine on!
Ms. Upah
Kaden's grandma got her workplace involved! They collected over 200 pairs of socks!
