Socktober

By: Ashleigh

At Glenridge Elementary school Mrs. Scotinos 5th grade class is doing Socktober! Socktober is in the month of October where we all collect socks and winter items for homeless shelters, so that they can be warm during the winter.

                                How we raised the money and the socks 

            When we were doing this we did lots of things, we put bins around the school to collect the socks and winter clothes, we made events such as, wacky wednesday, wear socks in the classroom day, and P.J. day.  If you wanted to participate in any of these events then all you would have to do is bring in a dollar.  The last thing we did were outside of school events such as a lemonade stand, to help raise money.

           Overall socktober was very fun and we raised lots of winter cloths and money for the homeless shelters.  If you are interested in doing socktober then you can go to youtuber kid president’s video to learn more about socktober. (kid president was the one who started socktober)
