Thank you Blythe Park families for your participation in the Box Tops Program at school!! Each Box Top is worth $0.10 to the school. Official submissions to the Box Tops program take place twice per year: once on November 1 and the other on March 1.

The Blythe Park Student Council is having a Shoe Drive for “Share Your Soles“.
Share Your Soles is a non-profit organization that provides gently worn shoes to those in greatest need around the world. More information can be found at www.shareyoursoles.org
Bring your gently used or new shoes to school between March 5th – 23rd. *There will be shoe drop box in front of each classroom and the office.
Share Your Soles accepts all types of footwear including gym shoes, sandals, boots, shoes of all sizes, men’s women’s and children’s. Your gently worn or brand-new shoes of any kind are going to people who may have never even owned a pair. It’s important that these shoes are in good condition to respect the dignity of those receiving them. Shoes older than five years old decompose, even if they were never worn. So please: be respectful with your donations, understand that the goal is to provide good, clean shoes to those in need. For example, tennis shoes should include laces and not have holes. Share Your Soles will discard any old overly worn shoes! Shoe Drive Flyer 2018
