Dear Coopersville Band Students and Parents,
Band students are required to wear black shoes which cost $25 as part of their band uniform. Since kids feet grow just as fast as they do, it seems like most kids will need a new pair every year. I have offered my time to help organize a program to re-use shoes from previous years. In order for this to work I need students to bring in their band shoes that don’t fit anymore this week. We don’t want this to cost anyone any money so I will take shoes during camp Tuesday and Wednesday. I will organize them and then allow the people who donated to get shoes first if I have the size your student needs. Please note you don’t have to get used shoes if you don’t want them. I just ask if you could still donate your old shoes that won’t be worn again that will help us get a nice selections of sizes for those that do want to use this program.
What I need you to do…
- Shoes must be in good condition.
- Please clean them the best you can.
- Tie the laces together so they stay together as a pair.
- Please place a paper in the shoe with your students name so I know who donated and a size if the size is no longer legible inside the shoe.
- Have student place in tote at school.
Some time this week please email me at deannalbrown76@gmail.com with your kids name, grade and new shoe size and I will see if I have it. We can’t guarantee we will have the right size for everyone but it will be a start to a new program to help save parents money in the future. I will work with Mrs Sprague to get the shoes to your student. I will also let you know one way or the other so you will know if you need to order the shoes.
Thank you for your time and donations
Deanna Brown
