Shoes Shined Here

Loafers, kitten heels, boots, or wingtips, no matter what the style, third graders inspired by the book “The Shoeshine Girl” by Clyde Robert Bulla tackled them all with polish, brushes, and smiles. Tips earned by the students will be used to buy fleece fabric for blankets, which they will make and donate to The Red Devils, an organization that supports breast cancer patients. A portion of the proceeds will also be used to support the medical needs of junior Archer S. The annual project, coordinated by third grade teacher Margaret Bitz, began in 2009.
