Socktober

Socktober

Do you know about Socktober? It’s about helping the homeless.You can help in just a simple way.Just donate socks and/or money.

Forming Socktober

Socktober started from a video from Kid President.You're probably thinking “Socktober” that's a lame pun but we’re calling it Socktober because it’s the start of Fall and it’s getting colder and the homeless don’t have warmth and they don’t have socks and they freezing so hence the name Socktober and we made a thing called

The Freeze Your Feet Challenge

“The Freeze your Feet Challenge” and it’s where you fill a cooler packed with ice and step in the cooler and try to stand in the cooler as long as you can because it’s not like your whole body’s in the cooler and the whole point is to raise awareness.

You can also do this anytime during the Winter or Fall or the Summer, any time.

How To Raise Money

The Glenridge elementary Fifth grade organized 3 fundraisers the first one was no shoes in class and you had to bring a dollar to do this action, the second one was Wacky Wednesday and to wear anything wacky you have to bring in a dollar,the final fundraiser we did is PJ day and yes you have to bring in a dollar to wear PJ’s and an extra dollar to bring a stuffed animal or blanket or pillow

Sock’s All Year Long

So what if it’s the end of October you can just rename it Sockvember or Sockcember.

I hope you will participate in Socktober and do the Freeze you Feet Challenge and give to the homeless and share this to the whole school and donate to the homeless they will be very thankful and grateful to receive these gifts.
