Used Sneakers - the New Green
Sneakers don't fit anymore? Worn out? Don't throw them away! Bring them (any size, any brand, WITH laces) to school next time you're coming to visit (or better yet, have your child bring them in to get them involved) and place them in the "Used Sneaker Bin" in the hallway outside the Media Center! Environmental Education Committee volunteers empty the bin weekly and deliver them to Big Peach Running Company in Marietta for you! Ultimately, the shoes go to folks that need them in Third World countries... beats the landfill! OR, you can bring the shoes to Big Peach Running Co. yourself and receive 5% off any purchase. The store is owned by East Side parents, Steve and Amy DeMoss, and is located in the Goldberg's Bagels shopping center on Johnson Ferry Rd.
