Week ten!! This week our winter warmth began. We are not expecting a lot because we started it so last minute. The donation sites are located in Mr. Barker's classroom, Mr. Ferebee's classroom, Hillsdale United Methodist Church, Makenna's house, and Jenna's house. We are hoping to collect a lot at the church and a lot from our houses. We are not expecting a lot from the school because we know that a lot of our fellow classmates will probably not going to want to take a lot of their time out of their day to go find winter gear to bring into school. We have decided to run the drive through December 9th. We are aware that genius hour will be pretty much over by that point by we want to give people lots of time to donate. This way we will able to collect more.
Over the past week, we have met up at Makenna's house to count up all of the donations to the sock drive. We ended up getting four big boxes full of socks. We were in complete utter shock with this because the drive only ran for 5 days at North Davie. We went through each box and end up dividing the proceeds in 4 trash bags. Two of which were new socks, and two were used socks. Makenna also got donations from her family all over the nation, such as Michigan, Ohio, and California. We are very happy with the end result of our sock drive. We are also super thankful to everyone who donated and helped us reach our goal!! Over the next two weeks, we will turn our focus to the winter warmth drive and hopefully we will be able to collect enough to keep a few people warm. We cannot wait to see how it ends up. Stay tuned for the results!!
