REUSE A SHOE: WORN OUT. PLAY ON.
Such is the slogan from Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program. Sound cool? All you need to do is check your house for shoes that you no longer wear. The athletic shoes will get ground up to make playground surfaces, tracks, and basketball courts in underprivileged areas. The gently used non-athletic shoes (even crocs and boots!) will be donated to Share Your Soles, a local shoe charity that provides warmth to feet in need.
Attention Parents...
We have created a student information update form for parents to complete online. This is accessed via our school website. We are asking that all parents/families complete the form by April 29. Thank you!

You Can Make a Difference!
On Friday, March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake struck Sendai, Japan, resulting in a devastating
tsunami that ravaged the coast just 180 miles from Tokyo. In response, Students Rebuild
partnered with DoSomething.org, to ensure students worldwide have a way to support their
Japanese peers.
You can help Japan by making paper cranes. These simple yet powerful gestures will trigger
a $200,000 donation from the Bezos Family Foundation--$2 for each crane received--to
Architecture for Humanity’s reconstruction efforts in Japan. The goal is 100,000 submissions,
then, the cranes will be woven into an art installation--a symbolic gift from youth worldwide to
their Japanese peers.
Through Indian Trail’s Kids Who Care program you can get involved, too!
1. Make a paper crane--view a how‐to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
2. Turn your crane in to Ms. Lee, by Thursday, April 14th.
3. Team up with friends and fold as many as you can!
Why Origami Cranes?
Cranes are sacred creatures in Japanese culture. According to legend, anyone who folds a
thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Students Rebuild’s goal is to collect
100,000 origami cranes from young people to represent 100 wishes of support and healing for
Japan.
