👟🌟 Attention PJHS Community! 👟🌟 We're thrilled to announce that the Beta Club will be hosting a shoe drive throughout April and May, and we need YOUR help to make it a success! We've teamed up with the Funds2Orgs Group for this incredible project, aiming to collect gently used shoes to support those in developing countries. Here's how it works: for every pair of shoes we collect, the PJHS Beta Club earns funds to support our club activities. It's a win-win situation! Plus, you'll be making a meaningful difference in the lives of others by providing them with footwear they desperately need. 👞 What we're looking for: Gently used shoes that you'd still be happy to give to a friend. Please ensure there are no holes or worn-out soles. 📅 Donation Details: You can drop off your shoe donations at the PJHS Library throughout April and May. If you're unsure about a pair of shoes, don't hesitate to send them anyway. We'll make sure they find a good home, either with us or at the local Goodwill. 🛍️ Donation Tips: Please place your donated shoes in a plastic Walmart bag or something similar, tied securely closed. This will make it easier for us to handle and sort them. Your support means the world to us, and together, we can make a significant impact through this shoe drive! Check out the attached flyer for more details, and let's step up to help those in need. Thank you! 🌍👟 #PJHSBetaClub #ShoeDrive #CommunityImpact
