Socktober Success by Lauren H.
This past month, HIJH has been participating in Socktober. Socktober helped donate 251 pairs of socks to a local school in need. I met with the principal of that school to give the school the socks, and he said that 251 pairs of socks would be enough for almost every kid in the school to get a new pair of socks. The generous donations of our school will help ensure that no child at the school has to go without a pair of socks.
