Leadworthy Students Say Thank You For Socktober Donations

Final Socktober Tally: 530 Pairs of Socks

Leadworthy Socktober Donations Far Surpassed their Original Goal of 125 Socks and Led the Student Body to Gather 530 Pairs!

Donations for Veterans

From now until Thanksgiving break, the school is collecting items for Patriot House Transitional Housing for Veterans in Fort Worth. Drop offs outside the library (remote learners: front office).

The grade levels are challenged to see who can bring the most individual items, earning a Pajama Pants Day for their grade.
