Mrs. Gravely's Class is Collecting Old Shoes!
HRE is collecting OLD SHOES of any kind, size, or condition to donate to Nike Grind. Nike takes the shoes, grinds them, and then uses the grind to build things like basketball courts, football fields, and even furniture. We will be collecting shoes now through the end of April. Please have your child bring all donated shoes to Mrs. Gravely's class (room 15). Thank you so much!
