What is Socktober? an event during the month of October where students donate: Warm items, Toiletries, and of course...SOCKS! We give these to Homeless people around the area!
Our goal is 600 socks by the end of Socktober. Learn more on the goals page.
The student leadership group of EB Elementary does everything it can to benefit the community each month! We love to help those in need and help others do that as well! We hope that this website will make you want to participate in our Socktober event and "Rock the Socks!"
