How long have you been at River Road? From my very first day in school.
For the past week and a half Miss Williamson’s Teen Leadership classes have been working on a project called Sole Hope. This organization makes shoes for kids in Africa who need them to protect their feet from jiggers.
The organization takes material, cut out from old pairs of jeans, and sends it to Uganda where the residents of villages sew the material together and make shoes! The classes also made cards to send to kids and have cut out the material for 63 pairs of shoes! They will be selling pencils and stickers in the cafeteria to make donations and help cover shipping costs. Great job Leadership classes!
How long have you been at River Road? Two years so far.
