Our class is going to be participating in Kid President's "Socktober" service project. For the whole month of October we will be collecting donated socks and other items such as jackets, blankets, and any other clothing items that may help keep someone warm during the Winter season. We will collect these items in our classroom and at the end of the month I will take them all to one of the many homeless shelters in Hot Springs. The kids are very excited about the opportunity to help others in our area. These items do not have to be bought brand new from a store. These items can be things you already have at your house that are not being used maybe because they are too big, too small, or you just do not use them any more. We are looking forward to seeing how many items we can collect! Here is the link that gives more details on what Socktober is and also has the same video that we watched this morning to help explain it to the kids!
