Medford, Ore — Hundreds of students skipped out of class today in a new pair of shoes.
Over 500 pairs of shoes were donated to students at Howard Elementary courtesy of the Compassion Highway Project, Starbucks and All-Natural Pest Control.
Howard’s principal says many of the families in the school are in need, so the donations go a long way toward brightening up the holidays for students.
“We try to provide shoes and clothes for our students all year long so this provides it all at once for our students,” said Principal Jennifer Snow.
The Compassion Highway Project says they try to select students in need at a new school each year.
