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
