Socktober Success
Thank you to all of those who donated new socks and/or underwear for Socktober. We are proud to provide those in need with these resources for the colder seasons. This October was the first time Student Council hosted the sock drive and had a successful turnout. We collected 262 pairs of socks and 124 pairs of underwear for Transitions Homeless Shelter. Thank you all for your support as we could not have done this without you! Pictured: Sofia Edwards, who lead this effort.
