Zane Trace High School

👟 BPA Shoe Drive – Final Update! 👟 After 8 incredible weeks, we surpassed our goal of 34 bags (850 pairs of shoes) and reached an amazing 48 bags—that’s 1,200 pairs of shoes! 🎉👏 But that’s not all… With the help of the Adena High School BPA chapter (21 bags, 525 pairs) and the Westfall High School BPA chapter (3 bags, 75 pairs), we added 24 more bags to this drive, bringing our grand total to 72 bags—that’s 1,800 pairs of shoes! 🤯🔥 We could not have done this without the unbelievable support of the Zane Trace community and our neighboring BPA chapters. Your generosity has made a huge impact, and we are so grateful! 💙💪 A huge shoutout to Torin Sparks, Bing Brown, and Wyatt Park for their dedication! These three students took time out of their class period every single school day for the past 8 weeks to pick up, sort, and bag all 1,200 pairs of shoes. Their hard work made this drive a massive success! 🙌 Thank you all for stepping up for a great cause! 💙👟 #ShoeDrive #StepUpForACause #BPA #CommunityImpact #ZTStrong
