Sneaker Recycling Program
There is still time, gather those sneakers!

Each year in America, 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away, taking an average of 30-40 years for just one pair to decompose! Make a lasting impact towards global and environmental health! Donate sneakers of all types and sizes. Collections are going on now until 11/15. Drop off your donations in Room #819 (Mrs. Banks) or the Main Office.
