Glenridge Students are celebrating Socktober. Which is a sock drive and some events to raise money. Through the last week of October they are having these fundraisers they had a socks in class day on Monday and a Wacky Wednesday and a Pajama day on Friday. And they had to pay a dollar to participate.
To participate on these days you must bring a dollar which the money goes into building a homeless shelter.
Wacky Wednesday was a funny experience. Kids and teachers wore tutus, silly wigs, crazy hair, inside out clothes, ties, and some mismatched socks.
However some kids didn’t dress up and pay a dollar to help the homeless. Rhadi says “I don’t care. We can dress up like this everyday.” Well, this also happens when kids decide to not bring a dollar. Ceci says “I bet we could have gotten a 100 more dollar for every event if everyone was honest.” Ceci was on the committee that created the event to help Socktober.
Socktober is a event Kid President created to help donate socks to the homeless he’s also trying to build a homeless shelter.. All the socks donated are going to a local homeless shelter in Saint Louis.
Glenridge is getting a lot of socks and money to help this cause and hopefully we are making a difference.
Ceci, your ending is amazing! I liked how you talked about the events that took place in honor of socktober. Do you know the final amount of money you made?
