Yesterday, we had the blessing of dropping off the “golden tickets” to the Dixon Elementary School. From December 5-7, each student can redeem their ticket at Shoe Sensation in St. Robert for one pair of qualifying athletic shoes and one pack of socks. Yay right???? But we couldn’t have done it without the help of our sponsors, volunteers, and all of those who participated in our fundraising events!! Thousands of miles were completed to get this done and we thank you!!!!!
*accomodations will be made for those students unable to come in person to the store. 👟👟👟
