ANSONIA – During the month of October, the Ansonia FFA hosted a friendly competition between the Ansonia Jr./Sr. High and the Elementary to gather the most socks for Socktober. The Jr. and Sr. High led all the way until the 31st, when a last-minute donation gave the Elementary the win.
In total, 3,431 pairs of socks will be donated to Shoes for the Shoeless.
Congratulations to Mrs. Barnes’s crew for bringing in over 1,300 pairs of socks! Her Language Arts class wrote letters to businesses asking for donations and they received socks from Shoe Department, Tractor Supply, and Rural King.
In March, Ansonia FFA members will have the opportunity to attend “Shoes for the Shoeless”, where they will assist in pairing children with properly fitting shoes. Their socks will be donated to accompany the shoes for children in need.
