Shoeshine Stand a Success

Hundreds of pairs of shoes walked into the Kelly Center on September 19 and 20 looking a little scruffy, and walked out looking spiffy and shiny thanks to the shoeshine stand operated by the third graders. Inspired by the book “The Shoeshine Girl” by Clyde Robert Bulla, the students learned the art of polishing shoes, a chore which they quickly mastered. 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.
