Some local students will be collecting money and shoes beginning this week.
Mars Area Elementary School is holding its second annual Shoe Drive starting Monday and continuing through Friday, February 14th.
Donations of gently worn, used or new shoes will be collected and made available to those living in developing nations through the group Funds2Orgs. This company will make a payment to the school based on the weight of the shoes collected which will then be donated to a yet-to-be-determined local charity.
Mars Area Elementary School is also holding a Hockey for a Healthy Heart fundraiser starting Monday and continuing through Friday, February 21st.
This fundraiser by kids in grades 2 through 4 will benefit the American Heart Association as well as include learning about healthy eating, exercise, and the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
