As we shared at the beginning of the year, the sixth grade partnered with GotSneakers, an organization that helps keep sneakers out of landfills by recycling and reusing them. Each pair of shoes donated earned their class money, which they will be donating to the World Wildlife Federation to symbolically adopt a species being affected by climate change.
As of May 1st the 6th graders have:
- Recycled over 8 large bags of sneakers with over 138 pairs in them.
- Saved over 4,140 pounds of CO2 from our atmosphere
- Saved over 311,466 gallons of water
Thank you to everyone who helped support this initiative. Your donations have really helped the environment.
It isn’t too late to donate sneakers! The 6th graders will be collecting shoes through Friday, May 31st. Thank you all for donating your old and unused sneakers, they not only were kept out of landfills but were also helping to protect species.
