Some of you might be wondering what the heck "Westpark Cares" is all about. It's simple - Westpark Cares is the Westpark PTA's way to give back to the community. The first Westpark Cares event is a shoe drive with Angel Bins. This program collects shoes that are then recycled (and kept out of landfills) or shipped to third world countries to be given out to those in need.
This is also a fundraiser for the PTA - if we collect 5,000 lbs of shoes we will get $3,500 that will be used for programs for our students!
You can drop off your gently used and outgrown shoes at the valet lane in the mornings or at the popsicle stand after school. Please follow the instructions below when you bring them in. Please do not give them to your child's teacher.
Time to clean out those closets, canvas the neighborhood, call friends and family and let's get to that 5000 lb mark! Let's show everyone what Westpark Cares is all about!
SHOE DRIVE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Please pair your shoes with rubber bands or tied laces. Shoes with tapes
around them with will not be accepted.
2. We will not accept
unpaired shoes.
3. The shoes should be in clean and
useable condition.
4. Do not drop off shoes in
your child’s classrooms.
5. The shoes can only be dropped off
in the morning by the valet to the parent in charge and after school at the
lunch tables by the popsicle stand.
6. There will be a volunteer parent
in charge at both shoe drop-off places.
They will ask you for child’s class to keep track of shoes received by
grade level.
Our goal is to
collect 5000 pairs of useable shoes. With your help, we can reach and surpass
it!
Thank you for your support!
