Collections will begin at the March 2 Family Fun Night and will run through April 20. NTES will receive 50 cents for each pound of shoes that are collected. Last year the school raised approximately $600 through the GreenSneakers program. Other than being a "pair of sneakers" there are no other restrictions to what sneakers can be collected -- adult and kid sizes are accepted.
The grade level that collects the most pairs of shoes will win an extra hour of phy ed with Jack Olwell
