THIRD ANNUAL SOCCER SHOE DRIVE Jackson Delkus (St. Clement 7th grader) is hosting his third annual soccer shoe drive next week. The used shoes (indoor soccer shoes and cleats) are sent to Honduras with his soccer club and given to kids and young adults with a passion for the game. Many of them have no shoes and play soccer barefoot, having to take breaks during the games because their feet hurt so badly. Let s help them out by donating our cleats that no longer fit! The St. Clement family has been so generous with their donations in the past and the soccer players in Honduras thank you greatly!!!! There will be a collection box in the school cafeteria next week (November 12-16).
