Dear Parents/Guardians,
We need your shoes!
Once again, we are delighted to be taking part in this year’s Our Shoes campaign, collecting pre-loved sports shoes and sending them to children in African townships.
Watch this video to learn more about the Our Shoes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sclgs57EsVU&t=97s
We need:
- Used but in good condition children’s sports shoes (runners, sneakers, football boots etc)
- Just ask yourself would you be happy for your child to still wear them, if the hadn’t been outgrown.
- Clean shoes - they need to be reasonably clean i.e. no obvious dirt or muck, check the soles
- Shoes need to be tied together securely via the laces, with cable ties or strong elastic bands.
So get up into the attics and under the stairs now!
See https://www.ourshoes.ie/parents for more information on the campaign and the impact in makes in Southern Africa.
Please send in suitable shoes to the school by March 14th. There will be boxes available along the main corridor for the shoes.
Thank you in advance for your support for this very worthy cause,
Kind Regards,
The Student Council
