Sole Searching

A pair of new shoes is something anyone can appreciate but not everyone is fortunate enough to have. Starting off on the right foot, and in a comfortable pair of shoes, is one sure way to put a smile on a child’s face. But, did you know it can actually help them succeed in school? Not every kid is fortunate enough to experience what it feels like to receive and walk in a new pair of shoes. It is not uncommon to see toes peeking out of the tops of shoes or to notice soles that are worn down and splitting. For school staff, this is just a reminder that many of us are making our resources stretch wide and far.   A new pair of shoes for a child can: ~ Increase activity ~  Improve self-esteem ~ Improve attendance ~  Help prevent bullying ~  Increase health & overall wellness Healthy development, school readiness, a positive mindset, perseverance, and independence are all ideas that are deeply valued in our school district. ASD strives to foster a culture that addresses the social-emotional needs and wellness of all students, and because of this, we have begun the Sole Searching Project. The Sole Searching Project intends to put a new pair of shoes on the feet of all Alamosa children in need. This is an empowering project where kids themselves get to shop and select their own unique pair of shoes online. It serves K-12 students. This project started through a grant, and we are now hoping to make this an ongoing or annual project to benefit our students. We need you, friends, family, and community members. Your contribution can help transform this project from a one-year effort to an ongoing, sustainable project for years to come.
