One Day Without Shoes
Dear Families,
On , the school will be going without shoes for One Day Without Shoes. It might be cold, it'll probably be uncomfortable, and our socks will certainly get dirty, but by doing so, we’ll help raise awareness of the impact a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child’s life. One Day Without Shoes is an annual event hosted by TOMS Shoes in which students, friends, parents, strangers, and co-workers host or participate in events without shoes. Some go without shoes for an hour, some for the whole day, but all become a part of a greater movement toward change. Your involvement will captivate and educate St. Paul of the Cross School and impact the lives of children around the world. Did you know most children in developing countries grow up barefoot? Did you know some children walk without shoes for miles each day, and they can often not attend school without proper footwear? In Ethiopia, approximately 1 million people are suffering from a debilitating disease called podoconiosis, which is 100% preventable with basic hygiene and shoes. If you could change the lives of children with a simple gesture, would you do for one day what millions do everyday?
Again on please lead by example by going without shoes, and help mobilize St. Paul of the Cross School to be a part of One Day Without Shoes.
Sincerely yours,
The Third Graders
Mrs. Calleros
PS If you have slightly used or new shoes to bring that day, we will be donated them to families that are in need of shoes.
Thank you.
