Rotarians donate new shoes to kids in need
 
Schaumburg AM Rotary Club members stopped in at School District 54 headquarters this morning to deliver 70+ pairs of new athletic style gym shoes that will be distributed to students from low-income families via the district's social worker network.  This is the club's second donation of new shoes to District 54 in as many years.
 
The shoes feature a durable rubber sole, are machine washable and come in a variety of colors and were obtained through Operation Warm’s Warm Soles program.
 
Kudos to Bill Paton, our community service chair, for coordinating the details that made this possible!
 
See below for SD54's acknowledgment of our donation.
