A Successful Sock Drive: 639 Pairs!

Washington Elementary students celebrating wildly successful sock drive

(April 28) Over the past week, Washington Elementary School Student Council students led a schoolwide effort to collect new, adult-size socks for our nation’s servicemen and women through the organization Warmth for Warriors. With an original goal of collecting 100 pairs, our Eagle community buried us with socks! The final tally is 639 pairs of socks! Because of this overwhelming community support, we are pleased to announce that we will also be donating some of the collected socks to local veteran’s organizations. Thank you so much to our generous and compassionate Washington families as well as to others from the Whitewater community!  
Way to Go, Eagles!
