Students at Delmar-Harvard have collected nearly 500 pairs of shoes for charity.
Students at Delmar-Harvard Elementary School stepped up to the challenge of collecting shoes for charity. The box says 'Share A Pair' and that's exactly what the students did, bringing in nearly 500 pairs of shoes. Boxes and bags in the hallway in front of the principal's office overflowed with shoes; pink snow boots, red Crocs and a pair of red, white and blue slippers teetered on top of the mound of shoes.

The shoes will go to MERS-Goodwill to help fund its mission of assisting local people to find work and live more independently.
